Living in an artistic, up-and-coming district
Close to downtown Colorado Springs, Knob Hill is a lively neighborhood surrounded by numerous parks, shopping, entertainment and cultural venues, restaurants and schools. While driving along East Platte Avenue, one might notice dozens of murals painted upon local Knob Hill businesses, which is part of a grassroots effort to transform the neighborhood into an urban arts district. As of 2023, nearly 60 murals cover building walls throughout Knob Hill. The neighborhood is also home to two art galleries and an art education center. “We’re trying to show that Knob Hill is striving to be bigger and better,” says Muji Rieger, cofounder of the Knob Hill Urban Arts District, a local non-profit. “I hope we can become a certified arts district,” he says. “We want Knob Hill to be a place where residents can have unique experiences and enjoy the benefits of living in a thriving neighborhood.”
