In Part One, listeners meet Katie Donahue and Katharina Hoerath of K-Works Studio, the visionary artists behind the installation. They share the story behind their creative journey, what inspired Artful Arches, and how imagination, design, and purpose came together to create this colorful large-scale experience.
In Part Two, the focus shifts to the nonprofit partners who helped shape the project’s broader impact. Kelli Foster Warder of Minnesota Artistry and Gina Brady of Fraser discuss the power of collaboration, accessibility, and community partnership in bringing this meaningful experience to life. Together, both conversations reveal how Artful Arches became more than an installation, it’s a celebration of art, inclusion, and the transformative power of community.
