  • Request for Qualifications Renton Downtown Mural Opportunity
    Request for Qualifications Renton Downtown Mural Opportunity Introduction A group of community volunteers are collaborating with the Renton Municipal Arts Commission (“project team”) to place a mural of former boxing great Boone “Boom Boom” Kirkman on a prominent blank wall in Downtown. We are seeking an artist to create a mural design with Boom Boom’s likeness and paint the mural on the building wall. The opportunity is open to artists that are experienced in or fully understand the process of mural design development and painting. Project Overview You may have noticed that Renton’s Downtown has experienced the painting of several new murals on building walls over the past several years. These murals are the result of diligent efforts of building owners, Arts Commission, City of Renton, many community organizations and partners, and very talented and dedicated artists. The City, project team, and downtown community believe in supporting local artists and in the power of placemaking as a tool for community and economic development. Mural Subject: So who is Boom Boom? Daniel Victor “Boone” Kirkman is a former amateur and professional heavyweight boxer. Also fighting under the nickname of “Boom Boom,” he fought during the same era of George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, and Joe Frasier, which is often credited as one of the greatest heavyweight eras of all time. Kirkman moved to Renton, where his grandfather originally settled, at a young age and stills lives here. His family owned a local pub, the Melrose Tavern, which is now the Melrose Grill and located a half block south of the mural location.

  • Jack Hurley Written by Rob Snell Thursday, 10 January 2008 Jack Hurley
    Jack Hurley Written by Rob Snell Thursday, 10 January 2008 Jack Hurley Manager, Promoter, and Matchmaker Birth Name: John C. Hurley Born: December 9, 1897 in Fargo, North Dakota Died: November 17, 1972 in Seattle, Washington Jack Hurley Manager, Promoter, and Matchmaker Birth Name: John C. Hurley Born: December 9, 1897 in Fargo, North Dakota Died: November 17, 1972 in Seattle, Washington Biography As a boxing man, the iconoclastic "Deacon" Jack Hurley was one of the most colorful and fascinating characters in the sport. In addition to being regarded as one of the great masters of his day as a promoter, a manager, a trainer, and a cornerman, Hurley also had few peers when it came to cultivating sportswriters with his unique personality, strong opinions, and fascinating stories. The great sportswriter, W.C. Heinz, based one of the major characters in his highly regarded boxing novel, THE PROFESSIONAL, on Hurley. As a manager and a trainer, Hurley was known to demand fifty percent of his fighters' purses. Yet he was regarded by many as one of the most honest people in boxing. Moreover, he was known to give his full efforts to see that his boxers did well in the ring and made alot of money. When it came to training and managing his fighters, Hurley was known as a perfectionist with strong ideas. He would drill his fighters to do exactly what he expected of them. As a result, knowledgable people could tell a Hurley-trained fighter from others. Hurley also selected the opposition of his fighters carefully in order to bring them along gradually--methods in vogue today.
