Meet Amos Goldbaum - the artist behind the new mural in the heart of Downtown Iowa City’s Pedestrian Mall. He is a line-drawer, painter, street peddler, and muralist from San Francisco who attended Grinnell College in Iowa. His work focuses on history and place through his clear and complex linework. Amos' mural pays homage to Iowa City with references to the buildings and objects depicted in the scene. The mural was done in partnership with @graduatehotels and is part of the Iowa City Mural Program, sponsored by @greenstatecu. Come see the work for yourself and snap some photos!

"The room is a living and creative space with a desk, chairs, and many materials for drawing, painting, writing, and making music. The room is a combination of my own home studio and other friends' spaces. The objects in the room are the kind of plants, books, and random objects that we surround ourselves within our homes and workspaces, which are often the same place. The big picture window in the center looks out over an imaginative view of Iowa City, placing the room in this unique location.” - @amosgoldbaum

Downtown has another new colorful door. Thanks to artist Amanda Stout, the door behind India Cafe got a fresh coat of paint and vibrant design.

The door is part of the ongoing Doors Downtown program. Sponsored by @greenstatecu, the program continues to bring a pleasant and artistic surprise to our downtown alleyways.
