The Frogtown King CDC Playground Mural
November 8th, 2004 Posted in Art
A few weeks ago a vibrant, colorful mural was unveiled at the King Family Foundation Child Development Center in the Frogtown neighborhood of St. Paul. Bethel University professor Dale Johnson painted the mural, with the help of Molly Irwin and a few others.
You can view the outside of the playground fence any time by visiting the King CDC, which is located near the corner of I-94 and Western Ave. in the Salvation Army’s Ober Center. You should contact the King CDC’s director to see the inside of the fence.
The Minnesota Christian Chronicle ran my story about the unveiling and Johnson’s other local artwork last week, and Bethel issued a press release which includes several pictures.
My wife works at the King CDC, and when I stop by a few times a week to pick her up it’s a marked improvement to see the bright, joyful colors lighting up their once gray, weathered fence.
