Faces & Voices is a year-long initiative that celebrates our beautifully diverse community. The Wedge and Linden Hills Co-op are kicking off with a collaborative art project that invites community members to share their stories about why they shop at the co-op. With the stories received, a permanent art installation will be created at their three stores.
