Arts and Culture to Enjoy

Moorhead has many wonderful arts and cultural amenities for residents, businesses and visitors to enjoy.  Here are a few public art projects available for all to experience:

2018 Woodlawn Tower Art

Moorhead Public Service in partnership with the City of Moorhead collaborated with the Woodlawn neighborhood to develop a work of art for the Woodlawn water tower installed in 2018.  With coordination with Su Legatt, artists Stephen Dorset and Jack Lunde created the design that is unique to the neighborhood including the Main Avenue bridge, river, Stave Church, log cabin and recreational elements that wrap the entire water tower.

2017 Oakport Our Tower Art

Moorhead Public Service repainted the Oakport water tower in Fall 2017 which includes a collaborative work of art by Stephen Dorsey and Jack Lunde two talented, local designers who submitted individual designs to an open call for art.  The design is an interpretation of 'Life in Moorhead' and focuses on some of the key aspects that make our city unique, with special emphasis on the amazing wilderness available in the Oakport neighborhood.  The artistic component of this project was lead and facilitated by professional artist, Su Legatt.

This project is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from Lake Region Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund.
