Across Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota, there are a number of public artworks that honor the immigrant communities of the Twin Cities and beyond. Along Snelling Avenue in Saint Paul are a half-dozen mosaics and murals, including the one we have displayed on our front page, Greta McLain’s “Braided” (2015).

To see the full image of this mural, and to learn about it and other large-scale artworks near Macalester College, visit Exploring Midway Murals, a community project between the University of Saint Thomas and the Midway Murals collective.
