Iggy Igloo, a beloved member of the Manitou Springs community, died June 1, 2021, but he is not forgotten. He’ll be memorialized with a mural in Memorial Park, on a retaining wall running along Fountain Creek.
The organizers, Conor Bourgal, Steffany Butts-Boucher, Amanda Lee, Marisa Madge (Cutlip) and K8e Orr, worked with the Manitou Springs Parks & Recreation Board to select the location. They are collaborating with the Manitou Art Center and Creative Alliance Manitou Springs on the project.
For information and to vote: manitouspringscd.org/IggyIglooMural. Voting ends Sunday, July 17.
The black and white stencil-style portraits of Iggy come from the cover of his album “IGLU.” and his single “Fly to You”; the original photos are by Liz Copan.
The mural is made possible by the community and Iggy’s family and friends, with funding from the Manitou Arts, Culture, and Heritage (MACH) initiative and a Peak Arts Council MicroGrant.
