FOCUS: Duluth public art to be a tool for city’s economic development
By Alisa Williams | The City of Duluth began a journey to define its unique character and translate it into public art throughout the city in October of 2014. Workshops were held to allow citizens to help fill Duluth’s canvas with art that tells the one-of-a-kind story. The Duluth Public Art Master Plan knits the diverse community together by defining and implementing the city’s expression—its signature — to the world.
Gwinnett Forum | Dec. 20, 2024
“….if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness.”
— Canadian Author Robertson Davies (1913-1995).
