A New Canvas for Kingfield

By Drew Kerr, Southwest Journal

Drew Kerr, Southwest Journal
When the sound barrier went up along I-35W two years ago, it quickly became a magnet for graffiti.  Today, the wall is pocketed with patches of dark brown, off-color signs that crews have painted over tags in several areas.
Now neighborhood leaders in Kingfield are taking a different approach they hope will curb the graffiti for good: creating a community mural they believe vandals will respect enough to leave untouched.
The mural will be installed around the entrance to the pedestrian bridge spanning the interstate, just west of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. Read the rest.

As always, wealthy business men are handing out million dollar bonuses, while education & healthcare are being cut. Sports stadiums are being built, while thousands of children sleep in shelters every night. Billions are spent to create & drop bombs on defenseless women & children all over this world, while people claim to be “pro-life”.

It makes us want to… “FIGHT LIKE A MOTHER!” Please join us at the ColorWheel Gallery to Celebrate Mothers expressing the hopes, fears, joy, challenges, love & demands of motherhood thru visual art. (painting, collage, textiles, photography, jewelry, sculpture, poetry, song & spoken word.)

40th Street Gateway Mural Approved Concept

Thanks to a graffiti prevention grant from the City of MPLS Solid Waste and Recycling and a gap grant from the Dr. Martin Luther King Legacy Council, the Kingfield Neighborhood will be seeing a new mural on the soundwall of 40th Street and Stevens Avenue. The mural will be painted and then installed on each of the sides of the pedestrian bridge in Kingfield, and will serve as a gateway into, and out of, the neighborhood. Kingfield is excited to welcome artist Greta McLain, and recognize artist and Kingfield neighbor Silvia Ibáñz as our artistic leaders on this project!

There will be a series of workshops this spring with teen-focused painting dates and community-oriented dates (this includes families and singles and …well just about every one!) Teen painting workshops will be held inside Dr. Martin Luther King Park on Friday April 27 from 6-8 PM, and Community painting workshops will be on Saturday April 28, 1-3 PM.  You do not need to RSVP—just plan to attend!  Additional painting days will be held in May!
