Rule 93: Direct Your Public Art budget to Blank Walls
Public art is often wasted on plaza sculptures. Cities should use art budgets for murals on blank walls, which, like trees, make streets more pleasant and welcoming.

Westgate is the western edge of the Creative Enterprise Zone. The E Line will connect the CEZ (and Saint Paul) in a one-seat ride to Southdale (and along the way, the U of M East Bank campus, downtown Mpls, Uptown, and Linden Hills)!
Concrete pour day on the new E-Line station at Westgate. This route will transform old St Anthony and SE Mpls, interconnecting it in a way that hasn't been seen since the electric streetcars that once plied University Ave and 4th Street SE over 70 years ago.

This mural by CYFI is very popular on Bluesky... on the north wall of The Wycliff, not far from Urban Growler and Bang Brewing. If you go see it, be sure to step as far away as possible because the distance changes how you see the butterflies against the angle of the building!
