Community engagement workshops were held over the summer, and a group of volunteers did the actual work in about four to five days.

Mix colors and repeat a pattern over and over again. It's sort of a scallop, I guess; some people say fish scales. It's really mimicking the stucco design that some stucco person did 50-60 years ago.

You can find the mural titled Prism Path in the alley behind Books Revisited.

Jeub says the initial response has been very positive.

What I love is that people came through here saying they wanted to do a mural in their alleyway, or by their place of work. I personally think that it is an awesome way to ignite people's creativity in looking at a space that's neglected and maybe coming up with a creative way to deal with it.

For the past several years, downtown business owners and community leaders have envisioned activating alleyways through public art. Prism Path represents a step toward that vision.

The project was funded by grants from the Central Minnesota Community Foundation and the Downtown Fund.

A separate mural project is also underway right now in the same alley behind the Stihl Wolf building.
