K-Mart Store Closing, Murals on Boards, Lake Street, Minneapolis

Kmart on Lake Street in Minneapolis with store-closing signs and murals on boarded windows, June 2020.
The Kmart store on Lake Street in Minneapolis is shown on June 14, 2020, with large “Store Closing Sale” banners and boarded storefront windows covered in murals and graffiti. Messages and images painted across the boards include “Love Conquers Hate,” peace symbols, and portraits, turning the facade into a temporary public art surface in the weeks after the murder of George Floyd. Shopping carts remain stacked near the entrance as the store stands closed behind the painted boards.
