Anne Labovitz grew up in Duluth. The international artist has channeled those memories and emotions and love of the big lake into a new large-scale public art display.

It’s called North Shore Blue, and includes 13 scrolls suspended high above your head, in the atrium of the Holiday Center.

“I’m hoping it brings people a sense of joy, and discovery. I believe color can be transformative. And hopefully it will inspire others to reflect on their own histories with Lake Superior,” she said.

She uses Tyvek, which is a vapor barrier, to put down the paint. It was something she started using when she did her 122 Conversations piece, which traveled the world.

This is her 14th large-scale public art installation since 2015, and she’s working on four more.

North Shore Blue will be on display indefinitely, and will include some additional mural work.
