KFNA started the 40th Street Gateway mural last weekend and had so much fun we are going to do it again this weekend! All painting at this point is done indoors at Dr. Martin Luther King Park, 4055 Nicollet Avenue South. When the mural is completed it will be hung on the soundwall of 35W as a Gateway into, and out of Kingfield Neighborhood!
The concept design can be viewed here, along with a brief verbal description of the mural’s symbolism. The lead artists are Greta McLain and Silvia Ibanez. All ages and abilities are welcome–we hope you will come paint with us!
Dates and Times are: Friday 5/4, 6-8pm and Sat. 5/5, 1-3pm

Many Kingfield residents have to think hard to remember the time when there was no Kingfield Farmers’ Market in the neighborhood—before the bustling market filled their weekly need for both fresh produce and spontaneous community connections. But before it all began, there were Don Roberts and Joni Cash, longtime 1st Avenue Kingfield residents and a pair with a dream of selling fresh vegetables in their own community. In 2000, Don approached the Kingfield Neighborhood Association, explained his vision, and KFNA asked how we could help make it a reality. Don and Joni’s tables outside Anodyne— with the support of owner Teresa Lien—were the roots of what we now know as the Kingfield Farmers’ Market! Read more
