Stevie Stevens, a mixed media glass artisan based in Bella Vista, was awarded a Third Space Grant by the Rogers Lowell Chamber to create a public art piece to expand the arts, culture and quality of life experiences that correspond with the Downtown Rogers creative community. “While researching the history of Rogers for that project, I became fascinated with the early history of the town and more specifically with the colors and textures associated with the Victorian styles of the period, she continued. “I designed Frisco Connects as a mural that is vibrant and current, yet the glass color selections reflect the period in which Downtown Rogers was created.”
Icehouse Mural at The Rogers Old Icehouse Building
500 S Arkansas St, Rogers, AR 72756
With a Grant by the Walton Family Foundation and a partnership with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the mural was completed in April 2019 by Rich Simmons an English artist residing in London with a graffiti background who frequently features images that look like they were pulled directly from a comic book. The Old Icehouse Building is prominent in the history of the area dating back to the 1890s and is now an added backdrop to downtown Rogers. The 50 ft. mural was Simmons largest ever completed and inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci while combining his own style of street art, pop art, and a take on the Renaissance. The mural is a woman wearing sunglasses with the images of Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” on each Lens.
