Current Projects
Honoring Aging Mural Project for QFC’s N. Facing Wall at 21815 Marine View Drive South With funding from the Des Moines Legacy Foundation, the Des Moines Arts Commission has worked to select an artist and project proposal to adorn the wall across from Big Catch Plaza in Downtown Des Moines. The site was identified by the University of Washington’s Storefront Studio Project as a prime location for public art for its visibility and location near Marine View Drive. A mural dedicated to honoring contributions of older citizens will be installed in the near future. Completion date is to be announced.
Public Art Collection Catalogue and Virtual Tour Arts Commissioners are at work creating a catalogue of city art work, including wonderful & rarely seen works located inside city buildings. The project will culminate with a virtual tour of the City of Des Moines public art collection, available to the public for viewing by visiting this site in the near future.
Calls for Artists Honoring Aging Wall Art - There are no current calls for artists at this time.
