Bravo / ICON Public Art Grant

Bravo Greater Des Moines (Bravo), in collaboration with ICON Water Trails (ICON), offers financial support for public art projects that are on ICON access points as defined by ICON and the 28E government partner.  Funding is for new public art projects that generate more artistic and cultural expression in Greater Des Moines and enhance the community’s ability to safely interact, enjoy or promote ICON water trail sites, access points, creeks and rivers.

For the purposes of this program, “public art” is defined as semi-permanent or permanent artwork that is free and accessible to the public and activates and enhances spaces in new and dynamic ways. Public art projects may be stand alone, integrated or applied installations. Priority will be given to projects that meaningfully involve both artists and the community intended to experience the artwork in design and development.
