Community Builds! Maplewood Community Mural 2024
Following the 2023 Maplewood volleyball court community mural project, youth requested a refresh of the Maplewood community’s basketball court. Youth worked with The Joy Labs to create a design that was vibrant, welcoming and inclusive. Youth decided on a basketball theme for the 3 point squares, with colors inspired by Minnesota NBA and WNBA teams the Timberwolves & Lynx. In September 2024 over two days 50+ youth and adult volunteers worked together to complete the refresh.
This project was made possible by a partnership with the Housing & Redevelopment Authority and financial support from the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. Special thanks to Allan Lieder for drone photography and volunteers from Prairie Island Adventure Club.
