THE MURALS

The alleys between 4th, 6th, Pierce and Nebraska Streets contain more than 140 original murals in Sioux City’s largest outdoor art gallery!

Murals are refreshed regularly and can be viewed year round. As the festival gets closer, wander the wonders of the alleys regularly to see how the alleys transform!

In 2024, we’re welcoming 27 brand new original works of art from artists of all backgrounds & styles. The applications were reviewed by a committee of regional artists in late July. Selected muralists will receive 4 quarts of paint and primer to help get them started.

Murals have a chance to receive Best of Show, 2nd, 3rd, Honorable Mention, People’s Choice, and Vangarde Board Award awarding more than $3,000 in prizes!

2024 muralist applications are closed
