Public Art in Downtown Fargo

United States of America

You might recognize the name from the 1996 film, Fargo, or hit FX series featuring thick Midwestern accents, white barren landscape, and the infamous woodchipper scene. While the accents are mildly accurate and it is pretty flat, everything else is completely unexpected – or as they like to call it, North of Normal.

For starters, Fargo is covered in art. Everything from the buildings to the electrical boxes are coated with the amazing works of local artists. Every few blocks a new creation awaits. Downtown Fargo’s first Adventure was published in August of 2020 and has been completed over 260 times by visitors from six different countries!
