Update on the Market street mural
SIOUX CITY, IA (KCAU) — The new mural that is being painted on the north side of the building at 712 market street off of west 7th has been making good progress.
The project is a partnership between the Gilchrist foundation, which is funding the project, Nathan and Rachel Phillips, who own the building, and the city of Sioux City. The mural will focus on music and the importance on volunteering in the community, and has been commissioned by Des Moine artist, Jill Wells.
Wells said painting a mural can be tricky, especially when dealing with the rain.
'Without door works you really are affected by the weather so you layer up you take maybe longer breaks but when the sun comes out you try to work as vigorously as possible so you can get progress done while the weather is nice ' said Wells
Wells hopes to get this mural done with in the next two weeks weather permitting.
