This collection of art is a little off the main path, but if you're up for a walk, or have a car, these pieces like hidden gems.

โThey gave me free range, so I had the ability to paint whatever I wanted,โ the artist [Shun Oner] explained. โThis mural in particular is very important to me, as Iโm painting it for my daughter. I really just want to take her picture in front of it once a year and for her to know it was for her.โ (HPR)
Created as part of the Fargo-Moorhead Real Men Wear Pink Campaign, Starling hopes that the mural brings happiness and awareness to breast cancer, but most importantly hope. For a small donation to help with breast cancer awareness, donors could have the name of a loved one with breast cancer painted on the cape as a symbol of hope.
More info coming soon!

Artists Olivia B. and Not_hideuhs led a group of middle school students in a week long art class in Make Room. The piece was created at the conclusion of the class and the adults largely stepped back and let the students take on the work themselves.
Not_Hideuhs said that he hopes the piece does more than brighten up the old service shop. "I'm hoping that these kids can take what they learned from here and try something new with it," he said. "I just want to inspire people with it because people always say they're not creative, and I don't think that's true." (Inforum)
