Hunger Mural Restoration 2024

Funding has been secured for a restoration of the “Hunger Has No Color” mural which is on the Captain Ken’s Foods building on Saint Paul's "West Side". This project will bring back to the wall the three original artists, 39 years after we originally created the mural in 1985.

Here is a complete history of this mural and restorations: https://HungerHasNoColor.com

You Are

See the light that shines in the darkness,
Hear the silent lips, the shuffle of tired feet.
Bring your gifts to the doorstep of a heart in a sling.
Bring your juice pressed from fruit both sour and sweet.

You are the poet, you are the clown, you are the artist able to fashion
a new smile on someone draggled by despair.
Take the lead, plant the seed of hope with compassion.
Help a shattered spirit find repair.

Rain, tears and fears, the falling and the rising:
necessary grayness for the whetting of new growth.
Life and death in circles ever flowing.
Inspiration, expiration — not one but both.
