A new mural at the Orpheum Theater in Sioux Falls celebrates the venue's 113-year history through community input and local artwork.

A new mural at the Orpheum Theater in Sioux Falls celebrates the venue's history and the performing arts community. Titled 'The Stage That Raised Us', the mural was designed by Sioux Falls native Jenae Porter and installed in early October on the theater's exterior north wall.

The artwork features musical imagery and architectural patterns inspired by the 113-year-old theater. Ideas and artwork from local youth and residents shaped the final design, following an open call for artists issued by the City of Sioux Falls Arts Commission.

Maren Engel, City of Sioux Falls arts coordinator, said the project demonstrates 'how public art can reflect both a place's history and the people who make it meaningful today'. The mural was funded through city funds tied to improvements to the Orpheum Theater.
