Participate in the City’s COVID-19 art memorial

Bloomington Public Health recently received funding from a federal COVID-19 grant through the Minnesota Department of Health to commission a COVID-19 memorial art sculpture.

This artwork is meant to serve as a memorial to those who lost their lives to COVID-19, and as a reflection on this time in history and the resiliency of the city’s residents and employees over the course of the pandemic. Artists Aaron Squadroni and Leah Yellowbird invite community members to participate in the creation of sculpture elements.

Various opportunities for the community to participate will take place in April, including with Valley View Middle School students, City staff, and Martin Luther Campus residents, family and staff.  The public is invited to participate on April 4, 2 p.m., at Creekside Community Center.
