Doors to Sustainability Art Display

Overview

The Doors to Sustainability Public Art Project uses the communicative power of art to raise awareness of Dubuque’s Sustainability model, which promotes cultural, environmental, and economic growth through 11 guiding principles. The Artists transformed 10 salvaged doors into beautiful art pieces, each interpreting one of 10 principles, with the 11th principle, Community Knowledge, represented by the entire project. The doors were displayed for several weeks in the Roshek Building, which supplied the salvaged doors as it underwent a complete green remodel. The doors were distributed among sponsoring businesses throughout the Dubuque area, creating a permanent art tour.

This Door at Vintalogie, a unique retail store, depicts the Sustainability Principle of RESOURCE MANAGEMENT and is done by artist Ryan Dies.
