Town Square Mural

The Downtown Development Association (DDA) alongside the University of North Dakota (UND) worked together in 2022 to beautify downtown and promote the exceptional people, places, and things that make up our thriving region through the creation of a mural. The project resulted in public artwork that will last for years and creates a landmark for those who live here and visitors alike. The Three Brushketeers are the three local artists who worked on this project! Next time you’re in Downtown Grand Forks, snap a selfie with the hashtag #townsquaremuralgf
