Electric Works announces artists for Union Street Market murals

Union Street Market at Electric Works will showcase public art from nine regional artists when it opens this fall.

In the wake of George Floyd's death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, artists have been quick to respond with works that seek to memorialize, to provoke and to heal. “Art is therapy. Art can say things you cannot express with words. It brings the community together to reflect, to grieve, for strength and for support,” said Cadex Herrera, one of the artists who painted a mural of Floyd where he was arrested in Minneapolis.
