Murals
On View Gallery loves to bring mural art to interior and exterior spaces. On View Gallery works with commercial, community and private investors who want to beautify their environment and world.
We have a 5-step process that minimizes the risk on large projects, while ensuring our client is 100% happy with the art and experience.
-
1.Client Discovery
We start with connecting and communicating with clients about design goals. Asking specific questions helps us create a plan to curate artwork for each project. We cover a range of topics including the client’s preferred design, style, and aesthetic.
-
2.Scout Artist
We create a portfolio of artists that we think fits the project requirements and meet with the client to narrow down artists that resonate with them. We move forward with client approved artists.
-
3.Secure Artist
We then draw up a contract with the artist and client. Details pertinent to completing the mural are finalized. These include pricing, timeline, and creative control.
-
4.Mural Design
An initial round of mock-up designs are created. Once a design is chosen, any necessary mock-up changes are made. Once the customer approves the design, the execution phase begins.
-
5.Mural Reveal
On View Gallery assists every step of the way during the mural painting. We troubleshoot any issues that may arise, to allow for a seamless and excellent experience for the client.
On Walls
Legacy
Collections
On View Gallery takes great pride in working with families as they create their Legacy Collections. We mindfully seek out meaningful pieces, working step by step with clients to build up their personal family art collections that can be passed on from generation to generation. We like to blend artwork from family artists, local artists of all types, and one-of a kind pieces. We have a 5-step process that we use with each family as we help them curate a beautiful and meaningful home.
It is our honor and privilege to build artistic equity for each family or individual we work for!

"When the Derecho hit my family’s century farm, we were devastated. Hundred year old oak trees had fallen everywhere and we weren’t sure how to process it all. On View Gallery owner Bex Hurn walked through the pastures and fields and captured all of the beloved fallen trees and livestock still in the area. My family is extremely grateful to have our beautiful prints of the area to remember our family’s history." ~Bre O.
“On View Gallery connected me to local artists who brought beautiful artwork additions into my home while supporting my community. These pieces are in my backdrop every day and brighten up my home with artists I wouldn’t have otherwise known about without Bex’s help. I am grateful for the assistance she facilitated to connect me with these pieces and spark artistic joy in my daily life.” ~Ashley V.

She has a gift for helping you discover art that will enhance any room in your home, fit your family's vibe, and become a favorite to be passed down for generations to come. Added bonus: Bex does the work of finding great local art and makes it easy to support the artistic community right here in Cedar Rapids.” -Heather H.
"It was such a pleasure working with On View Gallery to acquire my piece. Bex was very prompt to follow up on shipping after I purchased the piece and arranged for the artist and I to meet personally so we could avoid shipping altogether! They also followed up on making sure I had received the piece. I was thrilled to hang this work from one of my favorite artists through On View! Excellent experience." ~Laura B
"It's PERFECT!" ~Holly E.
