CRE8IV: transformational ART

CRE8IV (pronounced "Creative") is a community-building, arts-infused event launched in 2019 as part of RACVB's placemaking and public art efforts designed to enhance the region for residents and visitors. In its first year, CRE8IV artists painted nine murals in downtown Rockford. (View the murals here.)

2021 CRE8IV Murals

After a one-year hiatus, the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB) is pleased to announce the return and expansion of CRE8IV: transformational ART. In June, local and visiting artists will transform tired and dull walls into beautiful works of art in Rockford, Loves Park, Rockton and Pecatonica.
