Mark The Movement
Janice Polzin
Janice Marie Polzin is an artist from Detroit, Michigan with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the College for Creative Studies. After spending years as an art educator in the city, she now calls Roberts, Montana home. Janice became engaged in the Roosevelt Revitalization Project three years ago by facilitating design thinking workshops with the Red Lodge community, helping to collect specific ideas for the utilization of the space. Inspired by the scale and scope of the Roosevelt project, Janice designed and created the mural titled "Mark the Movement", which adorns three of the exterior walls on the building. She is honored for the opportunity to share her mark with the charming community of Red Lodge. The imagery of the mural reflects the natural beauty that surrounds the town and suggests the creative harmony that exists within its members. As Janice continues to grow as an artist in our community, she looks forward to participating in future projects and programs as the Roosevelt Revitalization vision progresses.
