This Saturday at Currie Park: Make Art for the Park - and Yourself
Make and take home your own print - and help create temporary and permanent artwork for Currie Park.
Join staff from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) at a special art-making event this Saturday, July 6, from 3 pm to 7 pm. Just show up - no registration needed.
Youth will create prints using screens and ink, a centuries-old technique used around the world.
Participants will take home their own prints, and the designs they create will be incorporated into temporary artworks at the park: along the wading pool fencing and for future construction fencing.
The screen-print designs will also help to inform a permanent artwork for the exterior of the future restroom building, to be constructed as part of the Currie Park Phase 1 Improvements project. Thanks to our partners, the Art in Public Places program at the City of Minneapolis, for funding the permanent artwork!
