New Nicollet Redevelopment (Former Kmart Site)

City of Minneapolis Art in Public Places and Public Works
Event #0000002746
Issue Date: September 25, 2023

The City of Minneapolis invites experienced artists to design and create a new public artwork. This artwork will be part of a new development reconnecting Nicollet Avenue at Lake Street. This City-led effort will create new places, connections, and opportunities on the former Kmart site. The location is next to the Midtown Greenway in South Minneapolis. The first phase focuses on the new street, the bridge, bikeway and pedestrian areas. Artists applying should have the capacity to work in a range of materials and scales. The artist/team will also identify opportunities for future art and artists on the site. (See pages 6-7 for information on artist eligibility.)
