Urban Flower Field at Pedro Park

Once a gravel pit, this St. Paul site was transformed into an urban flower field by Amanda Lovelee ’10, MFA, featuring a mural by Ed Charbonneau ’06, MFA, and Jeremy Szopinksi.

The engaged and public arts minor is for students who want to share their imagination, craft, and skill with the public.

In this minor, you will learn about arts engagement through direct experiences with the public and within communities. Through research, fieldwork, and scholarship, you can create and implement public art projects or community-based projects based on an understanding of the public sphere and community development.
