Adam Swanson Mural Opening Reception

Adam Swanson‘s new mural outside the Duluth Depot will be celebrated with a butterfly- and moth-centric event. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience Swanson’s creation and engage with the artist. The unveiling event will feature speakers, performances, food and beverages and activities for all ages.

Last fall the Depot made a call for proposals seeking a large-scale mural or mixed-media installation that would celebrate and welcome all visitors, enhance the building’s visibility, and focus on the concept of connections. Swanson’s proposal was chosen by committee as it stood out as a project that would connect with everyone, add vibrancy to the space and highlight the shape of the building.

Swanson is widely recognized for his exceptional talent and ability to transform ordinary spaces into captivating visual narratives. His mural is an ode to pollinators, highlighting the vital role they play in the ecosystem and celebrating their beauty and importance.
