MPRB Invites You to Help Install New Stone Mosaic Public Artwork at Currie Park, July 16 and 23

A new splash pad and restroom building opened at Currie Park last year

Hand-cut stone mosaic is being installed on the new park building next to the splash pad that opened last summer at Currie Park

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and City of Minneapolis recently announced a new stone mosaic is being installed on the new park building that opened last summer at Currie Park.

Anyone is invited to participate in creating the new public artwork on Saturday, July 16, 11am-3pm or Saturday, July 23, 11am-3pm. Participation is simple – stop by for a moment, place a tile into the mural, and make a memory that will last forever. Special skills or abilities are not needed; all ages are welcome.

The new park building contains bathrooms, drinking fountains and maintenance storage to support the new splash pad that opened at Currie Park last June.

About the Artwork

The mosaic is made from hand-cut tile and features poetry by Deeq Abdi and cultural stories collected from community members. Artist Craig David was selected by a panel of community members, artists, arts and design professionals, and others to design and fabricate an approximately 370 square foot, two-dimensional public artwork for the new park building at Currie Park.

Installation began on Monday, July 11. The City of Minneapolis is sponsoring the project with support from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.

Learn more at the Currie Park Public Art Page.
