About the project:
The mural, located in Roberts Alley behind the VFW Post 762 building, will honor American history, recognize veteran service, and create a lasting civic landmark in downtown Fargo. Designed by artist Meg Felix and led by Folkways resident artist Lesleyanne Wild, the project will feature classic Americana imagery in the American Traditional tattoo style, including an eagle on a shield of arms, Lady Liberty, and the iconic North Dakota bison on a VFW crest.
WATCH THE INSTALLation
Watch the artwork come to life in Downtown Fargo! From June 8–23, Upper Hand Signs will be installing the mural, transforming the space day by day.
