The Omaha mural was painted on the side of the historic J.F. Bloom Building in Downtown Omaha (1702 Cuming, near near 17th and Cuming). It took the artist, Justin Queal, around three weeks to complete.

The Home Run mural combines two scenes, depicting black-outlined men in action against bursts of blue mandala-like imagery.

The first scene is a baseball player swinging his bat against a baseball. This part of the wall highlights the city’s claim to fame of hosting the College World Series, which takes place in Omaha every year. The artist even painted the public artwork live during the 2015 College World Series and created the work close to TD Ameritrade Park, where the event is held.

The second part of the street art focuses on labor unions and blue collar workers who have played a major role throughout the city’s history.
