Dixon Approves $10,000 for Nature-Inspired Mural on Water Building
11 Oct
Summary
- Dixon City Council approves $10,000 for a mural on water department building
- Mural to feature plants and animals, painted by local artist Nora Reuter
- Dixon Arts Coalition evaluating proposals for a second mural location
In a move to enhance the city's artistic landscape, the Dixon City Council has approved a $10,000 allocation for a mural to be painted on the arches of the water department building next summer. The nature-inspired mural, which will be located at 92 Artesian Place along East River Road, will be created by local artist Nora Reuter of Nora Kate Paints LLC.
The mural is being funded through the city's arts and culture fund, and it is expected to showcase a variety of plants and animals. According to Discover Dixon Executive Director Amanda Wike, the mural will have a "very nature-focused" design.
The Dixon Arts Coalition, facilitated by Discover Dixon, proposed the mural and received a great response from applicants across the region. After evaluating the submissions, the coalition selected Reuter as the artist for the project.
In addition to the approved mural, the coalition is also exploring the possibility of a second mural location in Dixon. Wike stated that the coalition is "looking at a second location to be able to have both murals come into Dixon." Once a suitable site is identified, the coalition will evaluate the cost and present a proposal to the city council.
