Ajoint Creative Placemaking and Parks and Recreation project will be coming to Bryant Park, 1001 W. 85th St. After seeking an artist to design a nature-themed sculpture in 2025, a panel selected Minnesota artist Craig David.
David is a visual artist known for vibrant, expressive works that celebrate community and culture. He gained recognition for his mural at Target Field, highlighting the team’s history and local pride.
His proposed work for Bryant Park, Cantus Mysterium – Song of Mystery, draws on ancient stone-carving traditions and features large Minnesota stones. The piece is designed to invite visitors to pause, gather and connect with the natural landscape. Concept drawing pictured above.
Residents are invited to meet the artist, view examples of his work, hear about the planned Bryant Park sculpture, give feedback and ask questions at an open house on Monday, March 16, 5-7 p.m. Installation is planned for September 2026.
Visit blm.mn/placemaking for more details on the open house, updates and to learn more about how this project aligns to the City’s strategic plan.
