Southwest Airlines’ Heart of the Community program, launched in 2014, has given a $200,000 creative place-making grant to Minneapolis’ Hennepin Theatre Trust.
Last year the Hennepin Theatre Trust spearheaded two mural projects: a five-story-high mural of Bob Dylan (corporate sponsor: Goldman Sachs) and a smaller pop art style mural (corporate sponsor: American Express). It continues to run the ongoing Made Here urban walking gallery project. The trust is seeking public input on how best to use the grant.
