Northwest Iowa – Three KIWA-listening area communities are among 30 statewide that 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 group from Osceola County hopes to put the mural on an agricultural museum in Sibley.
In addition to Sibley/Osceola County, other KIWA-area communities competing for the mural project are Rock Rapids and Spencer. The other communities from around the state that are vying for the mural are: Waverly, Adair, Oelwein, Fort Dodge, Fort Madison, Fairfield, Mt. Ayr, Indianola, Lone Tree, Boone, Greenfield, Pocahontas, Quad Cities, LeClaire, West Branch, Manchester, Sac City, Jefferson, Ames, Cedar Rapids, Elkader, Villisca, Harlan and Osceola.
Online voting to determine the three finalists ends on Tuesday, October 15th at 5 p.m. CLICK HERE to watch the videos and cast a vote.
