THE 3D MURAL MODEL PROJECT

This groundbreaking project initiative, the first of its kind in Iowa, aims to raise awareness about disabilities and inclusion, enrich the cultural landscape through art, and transform the Iowa mural scene by installing 3D tactile mural models across the state. A photo is taken of a mural and scanned through computer software. It’s 3D-printed and scaled down in size, allowing for people to feel the mural and what it depicts. A 3D-printed QR audio/video code is also embedded with the model, providing an audio description of the mural and a video of the creation of the mural. In collaboration with Street Art Belgrade, this project is designed to provide tactile, visual, and audible access to public murals for individuals of all abilities, particularly those with vision impairments.
