Co-Creators Exhibition
Artspace; Jackson Flats is celebrating the completion of their new mural with an exhibition of works by the contributing mural artists, as well as artists that have studios within the building.
Logan Park Neighborhood Association recently chose public art as a priority for their neighborhood and community, the Minneapolis Art District. LPNA invited local artists to create public murals that show a diverse understanding of what it is to be a part of our equally diverse community. Jess Zottola and Benja Wuest were selected to paint the mural on Artspace; Jackson Flats, an artist's live/workspace, operates a community-run gallery for local art.
The inspiration comes from the booklet "Over the Years at Logan Park, a local publication about living in this neighborhood.
One particular quote that stood out from Mary Jane Partyka stated, "We came to think of Logan Park as our second home. Here is where we went to meet our friends, to enjoy the many activities that were being offered . PLAYING…SHARING…GROWING…RICH IN DREAMS.".
The artists that occupy the studios of Logan Park are using their widely creative imaginations to chase their dreams. Our mural shows this through playful geometric forms growing out of the mind of our figure. Caley Vickerman, who runs a community outreach organization called "Guerrilla Haiku Movement" and is a resident of Jackson Flats, re-invented Partyka's quote into the above haiku to reflect what it means to be a part of this community.
