The artists have been chosen for a Detroit Lakes public art project that will place vinyl wraps depicting original artwork onto seven power boxes around the city this summer.
An extremely large, visually striking mural now graces the new commons at Detroit Lakes High School, courtesy of local artist Hans Gilsdorf. But the 8x48-foot mural, titled "The Laker Ripple Effect," actually serves a dual purpose: It was printed on the fabric used for acoustic panels installed by local firm DOW Acoustics, Inc., to help control the sound inside the commons. The oversized printer used for the project was provided by another local business, Trophy House, and the high-resolution digital image used for the process was the work of local photographer Jack Davis.
