MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A downtown Minneapolis mural celebrating Minnesota’s favorite superstar will be unveiled in June.
The Crown Our Prince project said the mural honoring Prince, which will be painted on Ramp A near First Avenue, will be official revealed on June 2 during a block party.

The artist behind the mural is Hiero Veiga. The Crown Our Prince project calls Veiga an “internationally known muralist” who specializes in “breathtaking hyperrealist work.”
