Despite the pandemic, we’re bringing hopeful, color-infused art to people, places and communities. We are incredibly grateful for our recent work and the terrific virtual collaborations we continue to have. Stay safe friends. Happier, art-filled days are ahead.
Public Art News
Bemidji ("bemijiigaamaag" in Ojibwe) State University. Engaging story-telling and culture-building are cornerstones of public art and our art practice. That's why we're so proud of this installation in the new Hagg Sauer Hall. This huge mosaic – dedicated to the graduating class of 2020 – is ready to greet returning students and staff. The pandemic disrupted in-person student engagement, but we incorporated their words in Ojibwe and English, and many meaningful donated objects.
Lake Bemidji Sunrise, 46' x 8', spans an entire wall, going up and over lecture hall doors.
Our team begins the three-day installation process, working around other construction teams.
We're close to completion here – and total exhaustion. But it's always worth it.
Uptown Metro Transit Center. Can public art deter graffiti? Yes! We installed this colorful modular mosaic last month on windowsill seating in a large, urban hub for bus riders. It’s part of a year-long test with Minneapolis Metro Transit to inspire respect for the space. If successful, we're set to cover more seating surfaces there in the future.
Uptown Will Rise Again, approx. 30 square feet total. We used super-durable porcelain tile with through-body color.

Finalists, But No-Go. “Not every pony grows up to be a Pegasus” (lyrics by Atmosphere). These were our proposed public art designs for two, different multi-use housing developments. The art budgets were modest, but we offered these creative site-specific solutions for themes of community and unity.
