Overview

The City of Pleasant Hill is seeking an artist or artist team to create an original outdoor mural using mixed media, lighting, paint, etc. to be created on the east exterior wall of the Riley Resource Group/Feed Energy Company building (4400 E University Ave, Pleasant Hill, IA 50327). There may be an opportunity to expand the project to include the west side of the building.

This highly visible location along East University Avenue sees over 25,000 vehicles pass daily (over 9 million annually), making it an ideal canvas to celebrate our community’s spirit and identity.

The mural project aims to enhance quality of life, promote community pride, support economic development, and make art more accessible to residents and visitors alike.

For this RFQ, artists should submit qualifications and preliminary concept ideas only, not a final design proposal.

Once an artist or artist team is selected for the commission, they will collaborate with the City, community stakeholders, and residents to develop the final design for the site.
