Mixed Blood Theater 12×12 Project, in partnership with LPNA
Composer Reinaldo Moya was paired with the Northeast Community to create music inspired by the Northeast neighborhoods. Reinaldo unveiled these newly created pieces during Art-A-Whirl at the Logan Park Pavilion, Saturday May 20, 3pm. More information about the composer can be found at www.reinaldomoya.com.

Join us at the intersection of art and community as Mixed Blood partners with 12 artists—from ice skaters and poets to chefs and theater makers—working in and with 12 Twin Cities neighborhoods to create short performances that reflect each community. Partnering with individuals and organizations, the artistic reflections will highlight the stories and diversity of our communities. Each piece is performed twice: once in the community where it is created and again at Mixed Blood, when all twelve communities will come together in a performance festival.

The Bench, The Birch, and The Owl: LPNA Community Engagement Meeting 4/19 Come check out the “Gathering Space” functional art project for the park on April 19th. Over 5 years ago, the neighborhood planning process identified an “artistic light project” for the park. After many conversations with MPRB staff and hours of research, we have submitted a proposal – designed by local sculpture artist, Kyle Fokken (kylefokken.com). Kyle has designed many outdoor projects and is very excited to create one for his own neighborhood. Below is a model of the project showing the bench and trees. The bench will have multi-levels to accommodate different ages, abilities and uses. At night, the bench will be lit from underneath with colored LED lights. The trees will also have “eyes’ – and an owl!
Please stop in to see the model at the LPNA meeting on Wednesday, April 19 at 7pm, meet the artist, and offer your thoughts on the project.
The concept for this project is to create an alcove for conversations and community – with an element of fun and whimsy. Something much needed these days!
The top of the bench will have cut outs of various animal textures. We’re looking for input on the textures and other aspects of the project. Please email LPNA questions and feedback if you are unable to attend Wednesday, April 19, 7pm.
NE Neighborhood Merger Update All four neighborhoods (Beltrami, NE Park, Logan Park, and St. Anthony East) all voted to pursue the merger.
We now need to determine the next steps and how the new organization will function. The steering committee has created four work groups: Programming/Mission, Governance, Financial, and Legal/City Requirements.
The workgroups will kick of the first meeting on Wednesday, April 5, 6:30pm at Northeast Recreation Center. Join us to learn more about the workgroups and find out which one best fits your interests.
Reinaldo is composing a piece inspired by Logan Park as part of Mixed Blood Theatre’s 12×12 project
Join us to provide inspiration and share your Logan Park stories!
THE 12×12 PROJECT Mixed Blood will curate and support 12 artists (e.g. playwrights, muralists, musicians, poets, photographers, chefs, etc.) working in/with 12 neighborhoods in the Twin Cities Metro to create new works in/with each community, reflecting community concerns, interests, and stories. With support and partnership from organizations and groups in each location (e.g. neighborhood associations, places of worship, schools, nonprofits, etc.), each artist will directly collaborate with residents to create original artistic response.

Agenda: Presentation from CTUL – CTUL is a worker-led organization where workers organize, educate and empower each other to fight for a voice in their workplaces and in their communities
Electrify Everything is a city program built by a group of teams who have come together to share ideas and promote electrification within the Twin Cities area and beyond. Science has shown the importance of replacing gas systems with electric ones for our climate, for our health, and for our wallets. Electrify Everything helps connect residents to knowledge and resources that help them understand home electrification and why it is important. The program will provide step by step guidance so households can develop a plan to electrify their homes on a realistic timeline for their circumstances.
The program will provide information about technical and financial resources along the electrification journey. This is the community’s push to move away from fossil fuels. Everyone should enjoy healthy, affordable and efficient homes. Moving from home appliances that burn fossil fuels like gas on site to highly efficient electric options makes it easier to breathe thanks to cleaner home air, keeps utility bills predictable and can even lower them, and gives everyone a chance to take part in the next generation of caring for our planet. https://www.mncee.org/
