NCG Hospitality, the Middleton company building the 151-room Moxy Hotel, has submitted plans to the city asking for approval to paint a six-story-high mural on the southeastern corner of the building facing East Main Street. 

The mural, designed by Arizona-based artist Cinque Smith, would start on the second floor and end at the top of the seventh floor just below an outdoor restaurant and patio on the building’s eighth floor. Unlike the mural at Ella Apartments, which covers the entire front of the building at 2860 E. Washington Ave., the mural for the Moxy would cover just a thin portion of two sides of the hotel. And while its positioning is designed to front the Capitol East neighborhood, the mural would also be seen by inbound traffic on East Washington Avenue.
