Community Meeting Feat. Draft Public Art Designs for the New 40th Street Pedestrian Bridge
Monday, June 6th, 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
St. Peters AME Church, 401 E 41st Street, Minneapolis
Join internationally recognized artist Seitu Jones on Monday, June 6, when he unveils draft railing concepts for the new 40th Street Pedestrian Bridge. The 40th Street Pedestrian Bridge, connecting neighborhoods east and west of I-35W and an important connector to the Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park, has long needed improvement to better serve area residents.
The project was selected for Art in Public Places—the City’s percent for art program. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) is the lead agency on this project and the City is working in partnership with them on the bridge. Jones is developing public art designs for the railing based on themes of connection, history, culture, nature and movement.
