Downtown Burlington, Iowa, is seeking proposals from artists to create a mural on a new retaining wall located in the heart of downtown. This wall is part of a streetscape enhancement project and is visible from the street. While the wall will not be a space for direct interaction, the mural is intended to serve as a subtle, beautiful backdrop that enhances the downtown environment. The selected mural design should reflect themes of nature, prairie grass, and the legacy of Aldo Leopold, an important figure in conservation whose influence has strong roots in Burlington. The selected artist will receive a stipend of $3000 for the completion of the mural, including all materials and installation. For more information on how you can submit your proposal go to greaterburlington.com.
