  • Brief Description

    The Moline Public Art Commission and Quad City Arts are seeking the design and installation of a public mural to be created on an exterior wall in Moline, Illinois. The mural will be on the west-facing brick wall of 1405 5th Avenue, Moline, Illinois, and will be above the patio of a local popular restaurant. The mural will be highly visible as 5th Avenue is a heavily used downtown Moline corridor and blocks away from Mercado on Fifth, the popular night market.

    Measurements: The paintable surface of the west-facing wall is approximately: 110’ long and 22’ tall. Every inch of the wall does not need to be painted. Photos are attached at the end of the document.

    The mural is intended to enhance local quality of life, community pride, beautification, and creative placemaking, as well as increase the public’s awareness of visual arts.
