RETHINK owner Kristen McCoy in an upcycled denim blazer. She explained, “To upcycle is to add value to something in the processing. We’re able to take a worn garment and turn it into something new. We take jeans that are no longer wearable and cut them into denim squares. The result is a reversible blazer that still has a lot of wear. It’s on sale at the shop, and is size fluid (small to large). (Photo by Margie O’Loughlin)

YWCA St. Paul will display and house an art piece commissioned by St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter reflecting the city’s People’s Prosperity Pilot, an economic program initiated in 2020. People’s Prosperity Pilot supports St. Paul’s low-income families of color with a goal to create a model that addresses monetary inequities. As part of the People’s Prosperity Pilot, Carter selected Alan and Nicole Milligan, owners of the Milligan Studio, to create a piece of art reflecting the intention of this economic program. The work aligns with the YWCA mission of eliminating racism. “We are excited to have been selected to share this beautiful artwork, Altitude, with our community,” said YWCA St. Paul Chief Executive Officer Gaye Adams Massey. The artwork will be on display permanently in the window on the second floor allowing people to view this as they walk through the neighborhood. The Milligan Studios had Danny Diamond, a friend and musician, compose and play a musical piece to accompany the art. A QR code will allow viewers to hear this melody simultaneously.
