Join us for our third Common Ground Conversation!
Murals and Mushrooms

At our Common Ground Series, we take two seemingly unrelated topics, learn about them from local community experts, and then work together to find the common ground that connects them.

The series is an attempt to not only highlight the cultural richness that exists within the Greater Mankato Area but also delve into the interconnection between seemingly different unrelated circles and communities.

Murals:
Mankato is a city full of murals. What is the creative process involved with designing a mural? How does one translate an idea into a painting on a wall?
Presented by Dana Sikkila, local muralist and Director of the 410 Project in Mankato.

Mushrooms:
Foraging for mushrooms can turn a hike in the woods into a treasure hunt. The key is knowing which mushrooms you want to harvest and when is the best time to find them.
Presented by RIck Esser, Co-Founder of Mankato Makerspace and mushroom enthusiast.
