Central Campus Mural

On April 29, 2016, a team of Des Moines Public Schools youth, under the direction of local and national artists Asphate and LETER, began the construction of a 200 foot mural on the floodwall behind Central Campus. The mural was set to be completed on Monday, May 16 with a tribute to Kendall Foster who was tragically killed last month, but it was painted over by a private contractor hired by city officials due to a "miscommunication." We owe it to the artists and the youth of Movement 515's Color Control to allow them to finish what they started.
