Lake Street Mural Progress Notice, Minneapolis
Taken July 2020
A temporary notice spray-painted on a wall along Lake Street in Minneapolis indicates ongoing mural work. This message, reading 'MURAL WORK IN PROGRESS PLEASE DO NOT VANDALIZE STAY SAFE YALL,' reflects community efforts to create public art in the aftermath of the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising. Following widespread protests and property damage, many businesses and community spaces along Lake Street became canvases for murals, transforming affected areas into sites of remembrance, resilience, and artistic expression. Such temporary signage served to protect these nascent artworks and foster a sense of collective ownership and respect for the rebuilding process.
