Painted Portrait Sign by Marcus, Powderhorn Park
Taken April 2020
The sign at Powderhorn Park pairs a painted portrait with a quoted statement: "I'm a very active person, being at home is hard, but I know is for the best." It's signed "Marcus Minneapolis" and includes a web address inviting others to participate, suggesting the piece was part of a broader community art project rather than a single standalone work. Powderhorn Park, on the city's South Side, became a gathering point for public art and expression during the spring 2020 pandemic shutdowns.
