1301 University Lobby Mural in Minneapolis, MN

 I got to paint a quick, fun, little landscape mural in the lobby at 1301 University, a mostly student housing building on the University of Minnesota campus.

…just across the street from Sanford Hall, the dorm where I lived during my first year at the UofMn over 30 years ago!?😅 Far out, man!

Here's a little video of the making of the mural via my YouTube channel:

Paint-By-Numbers Community Mural Project at Mia in Minneapolis

My Paint-By-Numbers Community Mural Project at the Minneapolis Institute of Art was so fun and dreamy! 

I made two large number/color-coded, mural-sized drawings and invited the public to join me in bringing them to life with paint.

AND THEY DID! 

And it was so BEAUTIFUL and FUN!

We also had coloring pages! It was neato to see adults (and children!) coloring together and having some good chats.

Here's my Instagram Reel about the project- with more photos and clips: 

(You have to go to my Instagram - at @JenniferDavisArt - to see it in all its glory- cuz Youtube/Blogger won't let me share the copyrighted music here.)

I think the murals turned out great! You can peek in the art studios next time you're at Mia (Minneapolis Institute of Art) to see the finished projects:

Thanks for lookin'.

P.S. I'd looooove to do this again- with adults or kids- or both!
