Known for eye-popping surrealist 3D murals, Pugh brought multitudes of literal meaning to the simplicity of Theater in the Round, and created a Earth-sized sphere (think a rounder version of the Bean in Chicago) pushed by a director and two stagehands outside its confines of the theater into the wide open world ready to receive it.

A marketplace that houses 35 different businesses at the corner of Lake Street and Bloomington got quite the awe-inspiring facelift when Venezuelan muralist and illustrator Pablo Kalaka painted two different murals that wrap around the entirety of Mercado Central. The murals showcase the indigenous roots, history, and thriving culture of Latinos not only inside Mercado Central, but of the businesses that span the elongated stretch of East Lake Street.

East Franklin Avenue

Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States

Currently in conservatorship until a larger expansion of the American Indian Center is completed in 2025, this piece made entirely of cedar boards created a 3D optical illusion that to the untrained eye have the chevrons spinning like pinwheels. This timeless mural by Morrison was created with a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Once the expansion is completed, it’s expected to be placed front and center on the building’s east side, protected by overhangs. More information is available via MPR News.

While the TATS CRU has been known for their awesome mural work, especially those that were created for and that pay tribute to artists in the world of Hip-Hop, they were commissioned by Juxtaposition Arts and City of Skate with helping bring together this awesome plaza and skate park at the corner of Emerson and Broadway, and if one looks hard enough, you might see a nod to the Purple one in the mural, too.
