You Are Here: Love Letters to Duluth
Park Point Art Fair 2025
Sharing love of place with your neighbors, one postcard at a time
Love Letters to Duluth is an invitation to share your love of place with a neighbor. While attending the Park Point Art Festival, folks are invited to write an answer to the prompt “What I love about Duluth’s outdoors is….” on one postcard. Their response will be sent out to a random address also gathered at the festival, as participants can also provide their address to receive someone else’s postcard and response. The exchange of stories will be archived and then the postcards will be mailed off to the project participants over the next week. The postcard front-sides include either photos from Duluth or artworks designed by participants (we will be flower pounding and crayons will be available)
If you found this page via the QR code on a postcard you received - welcome! I would love if you shared your experience with me via email or by snapping a photo of the postcard and sharing on social media. Be sure to tag @youarehereduluth. Feel free to add what you love about Duluth’s outdoors. Thanks!
Love Letters to Duluth is an expansion on my neighborhood postcard exchange introduced at the 2025 May Faire Festival at Spirit of the Lake Community Arts on May 17 and is part of my longterm project, You Are Here. With a nod to the trail signs found on Minnesota’s multi-use trails, You Are Here aims to share stories about Minnesota’s natural wonders while expanding access to the arts through collaborative creative experiences. Down the road, the hope is to further expand that access through the display of artworks in the outdoor places we celebrate and enjoy. This project is ongoing, open-ended and likely will develop and evolve. To keep updated, visit @youareherduluth on Instagram.
Love Letters to Duluth is supported in part by a state grant: Susanna Gaunt is a fiscal year 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals Grant front the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
