Moorhead Art and Culture Commission Seeks Local Artists for Sidewalk Stamp Installations

The Moorhead Art and Culture Commission is launching a call for art to develop new sidewalk stamp designs as part of the 11 Street underpass construction project. The stamps will feature original local artwork, expanding the current collection and enhancing the community’s public spaces.

15:39The commission is coordinating with state agencies to identify suitable locations for the stamps, with the project funded through a prior allocation from 2015. A request for art has been prepared, detailing the project scope, submission requirements, and the selection process. The submissions are to be evaluated by an artist review team, with an expected announcement of selected designs by mid-May. The commission aims to engage a wide range of local artists, including those from schools and colleges, with plans to market the request through social media, local schools, and art networks such as FMVA and the Arts Partnership.

19:08Additionally, updates were provided on the historic Moorhead video series in collaboration with the historical society and MCAM. The series will explore Moorhead’s past, with initial episodes focusing on the town’s wild west history and saloon era, anticipated to release in the fall.

19:58Community events were also highlighted during the meeting. Moorhead High School’s spring play “Geek” is set to be performed at Horizon Middle School from April 24th to 27th. Theater B’s production of “Pride and Prejudice” will run from May 2nd to 18th, and Concordia’s music department will present an oratorio performance on Sunday, followed by a commencement concert.
