Art Route Des Moines unites 87 pieces of public art with an access path via artful city sidewalks and intersections. Think, “Follow the Yellow Brick Road,” where the sidewalk is painted with circles and chevrons leading to world-renowned sculptures, murals and architecture — free for all to enjoy. The Downtown Des Moines painted trail spans 6.6 miles long and also includes six vibrantly painted intersections for a total of 14 crosswalks. Plus, West Des Moines will feature an additional art pocket along the trails near the City of West Des Moines City Hall.
