Downtown is getting a new mural on the Plaza Cente

Downtown is getting a new mural on the Plaza Center One building! Property owners worked with the Iowa City Downtown District to select local artist Ian Huebert who can be seen in action this week painting the mural.

@ianhuebert is a printmaker and illustrator from Iowa City. Through @thepicturepress, he publishes printed editions and artworks, with an emphasis on relief and letterpress printing. Ian has a background in commercial illustration and book arts. He earned an MFA from the University of Iowa Center for the Book in 2017 as an Iowa Arts Fellow and decided to stick around. His work has appeared in publications such as McSweeney’s and is held in numerous collections, including the Library of Congress.

Continuing our Dubuque St business features with d

Continuing our Dubuque St business features with downtown’s @spoco_ic:

The sports bar first opened in 12 and 14 South Dubuque Street, with expansion to 10 South Dubuque Street in 1992. Bringing you the best in sports entertainment, ice-cold drinks, and a vibrant nightlife, it has become a home base downtown for sports lovers.

Founded with the vision of becoming the best sports bar in Iowa City, Sports Column has stayed true to this goal for decades. Its founders and staff have always believed in offering a welcoming environment where patrons can enjoy the latest games, delicious food, and a wide selection of beverages. In 2000, Billy and Todd joined the team, bringing fresh energy and new ideas, including nightly specials and a revamped menu, ensuring its ongoing popularity.

A highlight of Sports Column’s history is its connection to public art. In 2015, Swen Larson, one of the bar’s owners at the time, posted an ad on Craigslist seeking artists. This led to a collaboration between artists Eric Seckel and Tim Linden, who were inspired to create a tribute piece for Tim Dwight, a local sports legend. The resulting mural, located in the alley intersecting Dubuque Street, was a groundbreaking project for the artists, marking their first large-scale piece.
