West Lake Street Murals on Boarded Stores, Minneapolis

Murals adorn the boarded storefronts of retail businesses along West Lake Street in Minneapolis. These artworks emerged during the Minneapolis Uprising, a period of widespread protest and civil unrest that followed the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. Created by various artists, including graffiti artists, the murals transformed the protective boards into a temporary public art display. They convey messages of community, justice, and remembrance, reflecting the cultural and historical significance of the events in Minneapolis.
