Love this.

Everyone knows the face of Frida Kahlo. Now, we finally know what she sounded like, thanks to a newly discovered recording.

"Community Connects is the name of an innovative partnership between metal artists Sara Hanson and Jessica Bergman Tank, program participants at Metro Work Center—along with their direct care professionals—and the Longfellow neighborhood. Since 2013, these many sets of hands have worked together to make cast metal sculptures for exhibit and use in public places." By Margie O’Loughlin/Longfellow Nokomis Messenger
We are thrilled to have had another successful creative community engagement project with the fun and talented folks at Metro Work Center. Check out their recent gifted sculptures at Alexander's Auto, Minnehaha Avenue Liquor and Spirits, The Third Precinct Police Station and Moon Palace Bookstore. Thank you to the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council for funding this project.
