Concrete Coyote
In April 2019, Concrete Couch bought 5.61 acres of land in Southeast Colorado Springs and named it Concrete Coyote. For the past 18 months volunteers, program participants, interns, and staff have built tree forts, a soccer field, installed slides, swing sets, a mosaic climbing wall, and built new trails. If you want to contribute to this new Community Park project there are NEW FALL programs occurring NOW! Check them out on our calendar.
Aurora Bearealis
Summer 2020. Concrete Couch built a large mosaic bear for a park in Aurora, Colorado. If you ever visit Aurora, you can check out this cool, realistic black bear built by the Concrete Couch staff and our dedicated volunteers!
SCAMP 2017
This summer, with the help of community volunteers and our 15 interns we accomplished some amazing things!! WEEK 1- We completed a mural at Atlas Prep School for their Bike Library- a storage container that holds bikes for loan use, and put mosaic on three light posts and made some recycled benches. WEEK 2 - We worked at Soda Springs Park building a handicap accessible trail, building a rain garden, and working on the fence and gates. WEEK 3- We did a mural at the Colorado Springs Senior Center focused on activities the seniors enjoy. WEEK 4- We made lanterns at the Imagination Celebration at the Citadel Mall. WEEK 5- We made 3 cold frames for growing shoulder-season crops out of recycled materials and decorated the fence at Sunrise Gardens at the Hillside Community Center. It was a jam packed summer full of fun and community service!!
Skyway Park, Broadmoor, and Columbia Elementary Bench Projects
This spring we made 4 concrete benches with 5th graders at Skyway Park, Broadmoor, and Columbia Elementary! Kids learned tool use, form building, design, concrete pouring, and form busting!
Queen Palmer Elementary Mosaic Mural
This spring we worked with Dave Kohler at Queen Palmer Elementary to complete a mosaic mural at Queen Palmer Elementary. We worked with the art club to design and fabricate the large-scale mural highlighting the schools curriculum and mascot. Thanks Dave and all the volunteers!
Mountainside Elementary Literacy and Mural Project
Concrete Couch has worked at Mountainside Elementary School at Ft. Carson for nine years! We have built giant literary puppets with students that tap into pre-engineering, fabrication, art, literacy, and drama skills.
This January, we partnered with Write Our World, a Denver-based non-profit that writes e-books with students. The theme of the books for this project were military life, language, culture, and emotions. Concrete Couch also made a large mixed-media mural with students to illustrate the unique character of the e-books. Visit writeourworld.org for more information about this amazing organization and to see the e-books created by Mountainside Elementary schoolers!

Community Mural at the Energy Resource Center
Concrete Couch has collaborated with FUSE and the Energy Resource Center to created a mixed-media community-made mural in the Mill Street neighborhood of Colorado Springs. The mural combines elements of spray paint, steel, mosaic, sheet metal panels, and recycled materials. Over 70 community members made this mural possible! Swing by 114 W.
