MN Office before/Intermedia Arts
Image
We were so excited to get started that we forgot before pictures! This garage door?? is off to the side of our building and looks just like our whole building did before the paint job. Tags scrawled over old gray brick, bright blue splotches everywhere-to cover the old tags- and peeling red paint on all the trim. Gorgeous!
The second picture is the view of Intermedia's legal graffiti wall that I see outside my office everyday. For the moment, it is pretty full, but just two days ago the entire bottom half was covered in some crazy, colorful design that played on letter-like style, without ever making any words. The entire building is painted by local artists during an annual b-girl-be festival and the images of strong women covering the walls are visible on one of Minneapolis' busiest, hippest streets all year long.
