POSTCARDS. A mural by SDAN member, Gary Hartenhoff. On November 10, 2011, Sioux Falls Argus Leader writer Jay Kirschenmann published an article about SDAN Member Gary Hartenhoff’s Luverne mural project, “Postcards”. He stated, “After hundreds of hours and gallons of paint, city crews installed the mural during four days last month. It's on the side of the Habilitative Services building at 123 W. Main St., owned by Michael Reker and Dave Gangestad.” The mural was described as 40 4-foot-by-8-foot sheets of plywood painted as 11 “postcards” depicting local scenes and memories in a mural that runs the length of a 90-foot-long building downtown in Luverne. Artist Gary Hartenhoff says it's the largest art project he's ever taken on. Commissioned by the Rock County Fine Arts Association, it's the first public art project in Luverne. The mural was unveiled Oct. 30. Gary says, "It involved fine art skills, but also sign-painting skills, which are almost obsolete these days." It took him about three months to finish the mural and he had help from his daughter, Susan “Rocky” Haygood and his granddaughter, Kari, who are also talented artists. A grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts and Humanities Council, along with 14 Luverne area businesses and individuals, helped pay for the project that cost about $25,000. The Argus article quoted Tammy Makram, owner of the Coffey Hause just down the street from the mural as saying, "Now that it has been unveiled, I am even more excited because I feel that it truly shows what a wonderful and special city Luverne is.” She said, "The postcards reveal that Luverne is a place where memories are made, and it shows how public art is used to enhance an area and create a special feeling for the community." _______________________________ |
