City of Council Bluffs, Iowa
Mid-America Center Master Plan

Project overview
Mid-America Center is a 110-acre Entertainment District and is home to Council Bluffs' Arena and Convention Center, the Horse Shoe Casino (Iowa's largest land-based casino), a Bass Pro Shop, hotels, restaurants, and additional retail outlets. This development is also the second prioritized public art location within the City of Council Bluffs' Public Art Master Plan. To read more about this city-wide Public Art Master Plan, click here.

Partnering with HOK, Public Art & Practice, LLC recommended public art sites as well as appropriate scale and budget for each site. Through this process the team prioritized five public art sites within the development and Public Art & Practice again guided the Artist Selection Panel through the artist selection.
