Union Silos Minot Join us in creating the largest piece of public art in ND - a larger than life mural on the side of the Union Silos in Downtown Minot.

Inspired by our community and painted by a world-renowned artist, Guido van Helten, this is so much more than street art

Thank you Give360 for topping up your support of our big work of public art! We love investing in the community!!❤️❤️❤️

❄️❄️ We had a FUN check presentation amidst the beautiful snow this afternoon! Very fitting, as many of our grant recipients are embracing our winter weather to enrich our community!! See below for the official press release:

Minot Area Community Foundation's Give360 giving circle has awarded $53,369.89 in grants to organizations in Minot and the surrounding communities. The annual grant meeting took place in November, and Give360 members gathered at Citizen’s Alley in downtown Minot on December 10th for a ceremonial check presentation.

Organizations receiving funds are Minot Area Council of the Arts, Trinity Health Foundation, Local Motives, Prairie Grit Adaptive Sports , Magic City Figure Skating Club , Magic City Discovery Center , and Bottineau Winter Park.

"We are incredibly proud to support these organizations, which provide enriching opportunities and essential services to our communities," says Jason Zimmerman, President of the Minot Area Community Foundation. "Give360 is comprised of a dynamic & engaged group of individuals, and it’s an honor to facilitate the grants that are making such a tangible difference in our communities."

Programs supported by these grant funds include the Union Silos public art project, heated recliners for kidney dialysis patients, ice bumper cars for Citizen’s Alley ice rink, sled hockey sleds & accessories, equipment for the “Learn to Skate” program, “Crafting through the Cold” adult art class series, and a snowmaking machine.

The Give360 giving circle is committed to strengthening the community by investing in organizations that make a meaningful impact across various sectors, from arts and culture to health and recreation. This year’s grants demonstrate the power of collective giving and the generosity of Give360 members in supporting local initiatives that enhance the quality of life in the region. 🩵

What theme will inspire our larger than life art?? #ndlegendary #minotnd #unionsilos #siloart #ndunionsilos #publicart

Ours is bigger. NBD 🤷‍♂️ #minotmural #unionsilosnd #ndlegendary #minotnd

Painting Minot’s skyline. This summer. #unionsilos #ndlegendary #publicartND

We hear the question “why are you bringing in an artist?” Well… we tried the DIY route already. Turns out Guido van Helton’s art is a little more desirable…#minotnd #ndlegendary #muralart #leaveittotheprofessionals

From the center of commerce in Minot ➡️➡️ to an abandoned tower of concrete ➡️➡️ to resurrected commercial space 🔜 to a monument that draws the attention of the world to Minot’s skyline. The journey of the #unionsilosnd has changed since the mid 1900s. We wrote the next chapter in stone this summer. #minotnd #magicinminot #ndlegendary #muralart #downtownart #eyestotheskies #prairieart

A massive piece of art like this will define our skyline for generations, something our artist, @guidovanhelten is very aware of and takes serious. We’re inching closer to see this monument take shape. #unionsilos #ndlegendary #minotnd #siloart #publicart #northdakotaart

Beautifully said. No notes. #unionsilos #ndlegendary #siloart

We’re in our “Monumental Public Art” era. But here’s the question, are our supports silo-ies? Unionies? Or something else? #minotnd #taylorswift #publicart #unionsilos #ndlegendary

It’s a question we get from time to time. “How long will the paint last?” As Guido explains the paint he uses is earthen based and is similar to the several thousand year old cave paintings. But juuuuuuust in case... we have budgeted maintenance in the future thanks to Town & Country Credit Union. #ndlegendary #ndunionsilos #muralart #siloart #minotnd #muralpainting #cavepaintings

Location. History. Legacy. It all matters in these works of art. It’ll matter here too. #ndlegendary #magicinminot #downtownart #muralinminot #ndunionsilos

What will inspire Guido while in Minot? Could it be a night downtown? A visit to @minotafb ? Maybe just a drive on highway 2? Whatever catches his eye will no doubt be a beautiful masterpiece carefully crafted on our sky line. Whatever it will be, we get to find out this summer.

We’re building a legacy in Minot 126 feet in the sky. We’re happy to have Guido here to be the steward of the largest piece of art in all of #northdakota this is going to be (wait for it) #ndlegendary #ndunionsilos #artforminot #muralart
