Murals
Gallup has dozens of unique murals inspired by regional history and cultures that you can explore both downtown and around the community.
Often called the "Gateway to Native America," Gallup is a threshold to its multiple indigenous neighbors and celebrates the rich arts and centuries old cultural traditions that come with being a western railroad border town.
We are the Indian jewelry capital of the world with more than 70-80% of Native American jewelry and other arts produced and sold through our region. The wares created in our community supply art markets and retail across the United States. As the gateway to the Native American culture, Gallup affords easy access to visit Zuni Pueblo and the Navajo Nation or experience authentic traditional dances right here in Gallup performed by a variety of area tribes, with traditional drum, rattle and flute instruments. Gallup also celebrates its rich cultural heritage that grew when diverse European, Asian, and South American cultures immigrated into the area during the late 1800s for construction of the railroad and coal mining.
Gallup lies in the heart of Native American ancestral homelands. With the Navajo Nation at their doorstep, Zuni Pueblo to the South, and the Hopi Reservation nearby in Arizona, Gallup is truly the gateway to the Native American experience.
