The Way Park warming house is getting painted!




Through a FWP Board initiative to improve the appearance of the warming hut, a partnership was formed with the City and a St. Olaf College advanced studio art class on public art.

The twelve students in the class each submitted a proposal, and a jury selected the one it found to be artistically strongest and most appropriate.

The jury was composed of one member of the FWP Board, one FWP non-Board member, one City staff member, one member of the Park and Recreation Advisory Board, and one member of the Arts and Culture Commission.

Students in the class are painting this week!
