Altoona is on the move again!
Altoona, Iowa, is more than just a community — it’s a place where creativity thrives, ideas flourish, and every artist has a chance to shine. Our friendly, welcoming, and supportive atmosphere sets us apart from surrounding communities, offering a unique environment where creativity and success
go hand in hand. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned professional, Altoona is the perfect place for your artistic journey to grow. Together, let’s make art that reflects the heart and soul of this special city, and celebrate a future where success is for all!
We are looking for fresh ideas on welcoming travelers to Altoona while driving them to some of the exciting arts and culture exhibitions Altoona, IA has.
This mural will serve as an artistic gateway into the town, showcasing the unique character of Altoona while honoring its history, present identity, and future vision. We are seeking artwork that will brighten the area, engage the community, and leave a lasting impression on both residents and visitors.
We can’t wait to see how YOU contribute to Altoona’s vibrant cultural landscape! The mural will be found on First Avenue, our main north / south thoroughfare in Altoona. Very close to the origin point that Altoona is built around. The mural will be a supporting factor to highlight and
bring awareness to those who are passing through, while also serving as a commemoration to the community. Altoona prides itself on maintaining our small town feel even in our rapid expansion and development.
