MURAL TOUR
Artist Roger Reinardy
The mural at the bandshell is Reinardy’s fourth project in his hometown. There was a lapse of 10 years between his first local project, the Marian mural at Our Lady of the Angels Catholic Church in 2004, and the history mural downtown at the corner of the Original Main Street and Sinclair Lewis Avenue, completed in 2014-15.
The American Legion mural was completed in 2016, and this past summer the Palmer House mural of Sinclair Lewis was sandwiched in-between work on the bandshell.
Painting murals is a long stretch from Reinardy’s lifetime career as a commercial artist who designed beautifully artistic counted cross stitch and needlepoint projects. But when he moved home to Sauk Centre, he began to expand his horizons.
