Dave Loewenstein is a muralist, printmaker and writer based in Lawrence, Kansas. His community-based murals can be found across the United States and in Northern Ireland, South Korea and Brazil. Dave’s prints, which focus on social justice issues, are exhibited internationally and are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Spencer Museum of Art in Lawrence, and the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in Los Angeles. He is the co-author of Kansas Murals: A Traveler’s Guide, a 2007 Kansas Notable Book Award Winner, and is the subject of the 2016 documentary, “Called to Walls.” Since 2019, he has been working on the Sacred Red Rock Project which successfully led to the rematriation of Iⁿ‘zhúje‘waxóbe (a 28 ton glacial erratic stone formerly in Robinson Park) to the Kanza People.
