Art To Change The World /Mill City Museum Collaboration – Stone Arch Bridge Festival and Beyond 2024 – 100 Feet of Art and History
The Mill City Museum and the Stone Arch Bridge Festival chose ACW to collaborate on a public art installation funded by a grant from the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Board. The installation, 100 Feet of Art and History, it was located adjacent to the Mill City Museum along West River Parkway. Six local artists have been selected through an RFP process to create the artwork.
The artists are planning an interactive installation which will be fun, educational and provide a Trivia Game opportunity to win an artwork worth $500 from ACW Director, Barbara Bridges.
