For years, Pollen has had a continued partnership with AARP Minnesota for their 50 over 50 list. So often, we commend the rising stars of our community, but not the constellations that guide us. Art directing an award experience in both pandemic and pre-pandemic times requires an exploration of both digital and physical pieces including documentaries, illustration, hardware and written word that remind us who has shaped our community. Partnering with other artists to make unique and timeless awards for those who have careers expanding decades calls for colors and ideas as bold as these incredible people.
