The City of Bloomington’s Office of Creative Placemaking and Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with the Okodakiciye Dakota Advisory Committee, have selected artist Angela Two Stars to develop a site-specific sculpture at Pond-Dakota Mission Park, a site with deep Indigenous history and connections. This public art installation will enhance the park’s sense of place and identity while reflecting the history, culture, and values of the Dakota people. The design may engage with Dakota culture, history, language, the significance of the site or its connection to other culturally meaningful locations, and perspectives from past, present, or future, providing an opportunity to inform and inspire all who visit, work, and live in Bloomington.
Selected through a competitive Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process led by the Office of Creative Placemaking in partnership with the Parks and Recreation Department, the project reflects the City’s commitment to supporting artists and cultural bearers while strengthening public spaces through creative placemaking.
Engagement opportunities and other information will be posted to this page when available.
