New murals will beautify Lake Street and support small businesses

The article from MinnPost discusses a new initiative to enhance Lake Street in Minneapolis with murals that will not only beautify the area but also support local small businesses. The project, spearheaded by the Lake Street Council and funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, aims to revitalize the corridor by commissioning local artists to create vibrant murals on building exteriors. These murals are intended to attract more foot traffic, thereby boosting the local economy and fostering a sense of community pride. The initiative also includes plans for community engagement events where residents can meet the artists and learn about the cultural significance of the artwork. This project is part of a broader effort to recover and rebuild following the economic impacts of the recent global health crisis and civil unrest in the area.
