A crowd gathered in Miller Park on Saturday to celebrate a new public art piece about "Creating Safe Spaces." More than 40 youth artists worked with local arts organizations and police officers to create the colorful, large-scale painting while community building.
Youth art camps are already filling up at Illinois Art Station. As the art center rounds the bend on one full year since moving into their new home on Vernon Avenue, new leadership by a familiar face in the Twin Cities arts scene is returning the non-profit to its community roots and reigniting the Youth Mural Project for the first time since 2019.
