KINDRED MURAL 2025
The Kindred Community Mural is installed and ready for years of enjoyment! Artist Eric A. Johnson surveyed the community and came up with a design that honors the past and shows the future of our city is as big as the endless blue sky!
A plaque will be mounted on the building with a QR code helping people learn about the mural and what each image represents along with the names of our Business Sponsors and their history/story preserved in this mural for our town.
Thank you to all for your support of this exciting creation and installation of community artwork on Elm Street in Kindred.

He now has a Master of Fine Arts degree from UND, is an adjunct instructor at Minnesota State Community and Technical College, serves as President of the Fargo Moorhead Visual Artists, and runs his printmaking studio, Big Oak Press, near his Hillsboro home.
