Crosswalk Mural was a collaboration between Sisseton artist, Nicholas Blaske and resident artist, Markus Tracy. Additional support came from artist, Alexis Monroe and community members Darin Krump and Emily Norman. The Crosswalk mural stretched across Veterans Boulevard on Walnut Street.
The Crosswalk Mural design represents a cross-cultural connection between the Sisseton Wahpeton Sioux Tribe and community members of Scandinavian descent. For the Sioux, the center represents the morning star symbolizing hope, guidance, and the four cardinal directions. For those of Scandinavian descent, the center design represents a rose which is traditional in decorative folk art of rosemaling. The rose symbolizes love, longing, and admiration of Norway.
