MSUM alumnus selected to have work displayed at Vikings stadium
Grady Carlson, Moorhead High School art teacher, has been selected to have his artwork in the collection at U.S. Bank Stadium, the new home of the Minnesota Vikings. Carlson is one of 34 artists commissioned for the project from nearly 1,100 submissions.
Most artists selected are from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area with a limited number chosen from greater Minnesota. The artists range in expertise from Minneapolis College of Art & Design students to professionals with past works acquired by the Walker Art Center and Getty Museum, according to the news release on the Vikings website. The group, which also includes a former Vikings player and a father-daughter combination, will contribute to a privately funded collection of more than 500 original artworks and photography that showcases the Vikings, Minnesota sports and other regional history.
