Minnesota Energy Resource contributes to the Caponi Art Park in Eagan, Minnesota.
The park is open for tours by schools and other groups. It presents free
activities and performances featuring the region's top artists in an outdoor
environment.
The mission of the Caponi Art Park is to make art accessible to all. On its grounds, people come together with art and nature to restore, nurture and maintain the basic unity of the human spirit.
Located on 60-acres of rolling wooded hills, brick and dirt paths are linear drawings, retraced by each person who walks on them. Rock walls and shaped earth host sculptures throughout the grounds. In making the art park, Anthony Caponi, sculptor, retired professor and chair of the Art Department of Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, created serious works to demonstrate that art and the environment can be one.
