Painting the Community: A Portrait of Jeredt Runions
Recent University of Wisconsin-Superior graduate Jessica Prihoda produced this documentary about fellow UW-Superior student and well-known local artist Jeredt Runions.
Prihoda is one of 12 student filmmakers from across the United States nominated for a top award at the Headwaters Film Festival in Bemidji, which was held in April.
Awesome video and amazing artist! I can’t go in the women’s bathroom at Thirsty Pagan Brewing, but I’ve heard it is amazing. I love to find Runion’s work around town in little places. Like the lockers in the Rex, up on TPB’s wall, the mural in West Duluth, or just at Goin Postal in Superior. He has this mix of Native American artists, cartoon, and then deep, bright colors. I would say he is Wisconsin’s greatest artist!
One of my favorite local artists. I didn’t realize he painted murals. I’ll have to find some of them around town. This is a great post, thanks.
