Forecast Public Art has commissioned national artist, Leila Daw to map the lines of the Mississippi River in the skies over Twin Cities during the Republican National Convention. Two skywriting planes, flying side-by-side, will trace the banks of the river as it snakes gracefully through the region. The project may be appreciated on many levels: reverence for the river and the environment; bipartisanship, connectivity, local geography, and an artistic spectacle on a monumental scale.
