If you’re taking a stroll downtown, it doesn’t take long for bold splashes of color to capture the wandering eye.

Love it or hate it, street art has emerged as a popular form of public expression, taking the once-blank canvases of city buildings and transforming them into large-scale works of art.

The Dubuque area has been no exception.

Born from Voices from the Warehouse which launched in 2005, the artistic effort took its focus from a makeshift gallery space in the Millwork District to the streets in 2016. Since then, Voice’s Productions has wooed a roster of local and world-renowned artists, with more than 40 murals adding new and vibrant energy to buildings.

Four additional murals are slated to be added to that roster in the coming weeks, according to organizers.

Here, we offer a look at those completed thus far, with interesting tidbits surrounding the murals, the artists who created them and the locations you can find them.

To compliment that, we’ve also developed an online component, enabling viewers to take a virtual walk through the exhibition. We will continue populating it with each new mural painted.
