#LakeStreetMuralDay with @visitlakestreet.com today ☀️ It’s strange to feel like a tourist in your own city. I attended to learn about the history of the neighborhood I grew up in. It’s changed so much. What I take today is the important role of artists and community when sharing our stories.

The @visitlakestreet.com #LakeStreetMuralDay was great, especially the ability to hear from artists Pablo Kalaka, Kushite Artists, Camila Leiva, Nell Pierce, Olivia Levins Holden, and Claudia Valentino (Copla Murals).

Last Saturday, more than 300 people joined us for our celebration of the third annual Lake Street Mural Day!🎨 📸Elite Capture Studio #LakeStreetMuralDay #MNArt #MinneapolisMurals #MinneapolisEvents #MinnesotaEvents
