We are looking for a talented artist to create a mural for the east-facing wall at 208 East Court Avenue, also known as the RoCA building! This location is a prominent photo spot for the city, at an important intersection in Downtown Des Moines and overlooking a parking lot adjacent to the Farmer’s Market.

The submission deadline is Friday, March 29, 2024 at 5:00 pm. If you have any questions regarding the RFQ, please email us at hello@lizlidgett.com. We will need to receive a .pdf including your name, phone number, email, and two references with contact information. Please include four to five examples of past work, and a brief statement about your mural idea and inspiration. Please review all of the information in whole here.

If you're an artist that has not painted a large-scale mural before, you can learn more about the process here. You also can see examples of other murals in the area here.

This mural has been funded by Operation Downtown in partnership with The Greater Des Moines Partnership.

We are looking forward to your submissions!
