Speaker(s): Laura Margo -- based in Minneapolis, MN -- is a mural artist who believes that murals transform common spaces and transport you to your favorite places; and that the act of creating art together, has the power to spark conversations, enliven education, and invigorate communities. Laura's love of mural painting and collaborative art-making events began as a Peace Corps Volunteer, painting murals for elementary schools in Lesotho, Africa, and since then, she has led many classes and workshops, and completed commissions for businesses, non-profits, and residential clients. She loves exploring intersections within art and business communities.
