Take a SoundPoint™ Tour of Minneapolis Public Art
“Blossoms of Hope,” a public art work by Marjorie Pitz created in collaboration with Catalyst Community Partners at the intersection of Penn and Broadway avenues in North Minneapolis. The art work also serves as a transit shelter.
Minnesota Public Radio and the City of Minneapolis launched MPR’s SoundPoint™ tour of Minneapolis public art this fall. The interactive audio tour allows visitors to access a series of stories about new works of public art in the city and to leave their own stories in return.Signs posted at 13 different artwork locations across the city direct viewers to call or text a phone number and listen to the artist describe the artwork in detail. Viewers will have the opportunity to leave a text or verbal message describing their own impressions of the work or share a story about the neighborhood with journalists via MPR’s community-powered Public Insight Network.
