Inspired by local food, this mural aims to spark storytelling.

Since the Summer of 2019, local Little Falls multi-media artist, Heidi Jeub, has been engaging with food producers, distributors, farmers, and the community they serve, to inform and inspire a large-scale mural.

​Heidi, who is a painter, book binder, and public artist, uses a combination of research and intuition to gather inspiration. "I approach a piece, not concerned with how it will look, but how I will get there." In previous work with communities, the  resulting public art installations have been informed by community discussions, sharing of historic images or documents, and one-on-one interviews. "This process has helped ensure that the end product is a part of the community, serving emotional and aesthetic joy and reflection," says Heidi.

The Reci-Piece Project

A Shared Meal Pottery Experiment
READ THE STORIES
Check out (like a library book) a piece of pottery and contribute to The Reci-Piece Project. Bring the pottery home where you'll prepare and serve a meal, then document the experience through photos, recipes, and reflections on the experience.
​
The Reci-Piece Project passes the pottery to encourage community members to prepare and share meals, recipes, memories, and cultural traditions with one another.


Read the Reci-Piece Instructions and reach out to [email protected] to coordinate your pottery pick-up.

“Minnesota has a rich history of making and sharing functional pottery. Like the making and sharing of food, it has no cultural boundaries and can play an important role in building inclusive and caring communities."

In 2016, Region Five Development Commission was awarded from ArtPlace America's National Creative Placemaking fund.
We believe arts and culture weave our social, physical, and economic fabric of community. We're weaving it through our work in order to:
  • Increase economic opportunity for regional growers, artists, makers, producers, and chefs;
  • Improve social cohesion through storytelling and exchange of culinary, visual and performing art;
  • Co-create learning opportunities for growers and artists; and
  • Establish Sprout as a destination where food, art, and culture meet.​

"Through intentional placemaking, the grant funds will help showcase our community's assets and talents found within the variety of cultures across the region and expand opportunities for growers, artists, makers, producers, and chefs."
