What is it?

The Northeast Minneapolis Pierogi Project is a community celebration and awareness project that will result in a 17 foot tall sculpture  with a bronze pierogi pierced by a fork mounted on a masonry base.  The four sides of the capstone at the top of the base will contain the words: Northeast Culture World Culture, and the sides of the base will contain all the names of pierogi style foods from around the world.  The idea behind this landmark sculpture is to commemorate the inter-connectedness of Northeast Minneapolis cultures through this ubiquitous style of food - not to mention just plain fun.  This sculpture will be installed on the southeast corner of Lowry and Central in the middle of the newly developed community gardens.
