I am beyond thrilled to announce that I have been selected as one of two muralists for the Iowans Create Community Mural Program through the Iowa Arts Council! This is especially exciting for me to hear a year after receiving such incredible support from them with the Iowa Artist Fellowship.
From the IAC website: “The selected artist or artist team will work with the Iowa Arts Council and the selected community partner to envision, design, and create an original mural that activates a public space, welcomes visitors and showcases the authentic character of the community. The selected artist or artist team will be expected to take part in several meetings with the selected community as part of the design and development process.”
I will be working with the city of Waverly to produce a mural that reflects their community come this Spring and Summer. This mural will be on the larger end of public art projects I have produced through my career - and I am jazzed to get started next year
