With the latest Des Moines Arts Festival in the books, this seems like a good time to pass along that the Des Moines Public Art Foundation and DART transportation agency have unveiled the eighth art bus. The foundation commissioned Chicago artist Nick Goettling to design a bus wrap. The bus was displayed at the festival. In a statement, Goettling said: “Through sinuous linework, dynamic figures, and evocative patterns, I use public art to tell stories. As a public space evolves, the stories we tell about it, and the futures we imagine for it, change, too. I use public art to activate those spaces by challenging viewers to consider their roles within the local story.”
