About the project

The City and the Municipal Building Commission recently renovated City Hall. The third floor underwent major changes.

This included:

New office spaces for the City Clerk staff, Mayor's staff, and City Council staff.
Upgrades to the Council chambers and meeting rooms.

The renovation revealed historic building features, including a grand staircase.

Goals of the public art project include:

Welcome everyone into City Hall.
Reflect the identities, cultures, and histories of Minneapolis and Hennepin County residents.
Honor this iconic, historic building, the City, and County, and tell their stories.
Showcase Minneapolis and Hennepin County as a world class arts community.
Highlight artworks centering on civic issues and democratic values.
Provide opportunities for artists at various career stages and ability levels.
Be timeless, elegant and meaningful but also look to the future—juxtapose old and new.
Engage City and County employees—the public servants who make these places work.
Ensure artworks are easy to maintain and secure.
