Thirty Iowa cities have entered a state contest to win a large-scale public mural for their community. The design and painting will be done by Iowa City artist Thomas Agran who has been commissioned by non-profits, cities and corporations to do over 50 murals in the past decade. Each city competing for a mural submitted a one-minute video to showcase the attributes of their town. A few of the videos, like Jefferson’s, directly referenced the potential mural.
A group from Osceola County hopes to put the mural on an agricultural museum in Sibley.
Online voting to determine the three finalists ends on Tuesday, October 15th at 5 p.m. Fort Dodge, Pocahontas, and Spencer are among the communities competing for the mural.
