#callforartists The City of Pleasant Hill, IA is seeking an artist/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.

1. Project Overview & Vision
We invite artists and artist teams to submit proposals for the seasonal repainting of iconic Doyers
Street. This project aims to activate the historic corridor by transforming its asphalt canvas into a
vibrant conduit for community spirit. The theme, “Let Spirits Flow,” serves as our guiding
principle—a call to visualize the dynamic energy, layered history, and collective soul of
Chinatown in constant, beautiful motion.
We seek a design that does more than decorate the street; it should feel like a current. Let it
honor the unseen waterways that once shaped the neighborhood’s foundations and mirror the
visible flow of people, traditions, and stories that define it today. The vision is for Doyers Street
itself to become a testament to resilience and joy, where past and present converge in a
continuous, celebratory stream.
2. Project Theme: Let Spirits Flow
Artists are encouraged to interpret “spirits” in its rich, multifaceted meaning. Let your design
give form to this flow:
● Ancestral & Historical Flow: Channel the spirits of history—the hidden streams, the
legacy of early immigrants, the architectural echoes, and the enduring traditions that are
the bedrock of the community. How does the past pour into the present?
● Communal & Living Flow: Capture the vibrant spirit of Chinatown today—the kinetic
energy of daily life, the convergence of old and new, the flow of community activism,
shared meals, and gender exchange. Illustrate the street as a living artery.
● Celebratory & Unifying Flow: Express the uplifting spirits of joy, resilience, and pride.
Your design should facilitate a flow of connection, inviting all to share in a narrative of
celebration. Use color, pattern, and symbolism to create an inclusive and animating
experience that moves the viewer.
