Kente cloth served as artist Sharra Frank's inspiration for this 4' X 4' mosaic panel that will be installed at Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park as part of the Mosaic Quilting Project. Students from Ramsey Middle School and participants at the Nov 17 Mosaic Celebration at King Park helped to assemble this panel. Kingfield Neighborhood Association and Southwest Senior Center are coordinating this project, which will result in ten panels that represent textile patterns from cultural communities that are in our neighborhood and use King Park. For more information about the project and upcoming workshops, contact Mary Ann Schoenberger, Southwest Senior Center Director, at 612-822-3194 or mschoenberger@voamn.org. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, and by a grant from the City of Minneapolis Graffiti Prevention Program.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Park mosaic project advances. Check out these photos from Southwest Senior Center director and mosaic coordinator Mary Ann Schoenberger, showing the great progress so far.
The community art project—open to all—will go on the south wall of the park's rec center.
If you want to help build the mosaic, you're in luck. Dec. 11, the mosaic panels and colored glass will come out again at the MLK Park Rec Center, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
