hopkins mural project 2026

The City of Hopkins is seeking proposals for a signature mural to be completed at a key location in the city. This select public art opportunity will support the community of Hopkins and Light Rail Transit riders through creative placemaking, wayfinding, and traffic calming.  

Hopkins, Minnesota, 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, is a dynamic confluence of historic and modern sensibilities with a mission to Inspire, Educate, Involve, and Communicate. This public art opportunity is intended to support the community of Hopkins and the City’s goals to: 

• Aesthetically activate a gateway intersection 

• Create a sense of arrival 

• Entice visitors to Hopkins 

• Highlight or support a cultural asset 

• Reinforce Hopkins’ vibrant art community

The City of Hopkins is the commissioning organization.  This mural will be the seventh commissioned artwork of the Hopkins Mural Project that began in 2023.
