Instead of hunting for Easter eggs this year, Rosedale Center is inviting people to its doors to discover artwork. Be on the lookout for 50 different art pieces in the newly renovated mall, as part of a collaboration with the Minneapolis exhibit design and curatorial firm Bishop/Iverson, that has helped build and manage a ton of art galleries in the Twin Cities, including Public Functionary, XYandZ Gallery, and CO Exhibitions.
Between April 12-20, the mall-wide art exhibit will highlight 30 different acclaimed Minnesota artists, featuring all sorts of art forms ranging from detailed drawings and paintings, modern light installations, unique sculptures, and sweeping murals. Mall visitors can take photographs of the art or interacting with it, and post and tag Rosedale Center on Instagram to win gift cards, prize baskets and more, using the hashtag #RosedaleArtHunt.
“We are excited to share the creative talents of these artists with our visitors,” said Sarah Fossen, director of marketing and experience at Rosedale Center. “Much like other local cultural events, we hope to create an experience where visitors can discover beautiful and interesting works in unexpected places.”
