Celebration of Life

Celebration of Life – The mural project began in 1996, located at Olson Memorial Highway and Lyndale Avenue in North Minneapolis. Created by John Biggers, Seitu Jones, Ta-Coumba Aiken and fifteen participating artists, it was constructed of cast stone, clay and metal and measured sixteen feet tall and one hundred sixty feet long. As John Biggers said, “the mural begins at the midway point. From this panel you can move left into the darkness of life’s beginnings or right into the light of being.”
