The Minnesota Hockey Recreation League is pleased to announce that a design by south Minneapolis resident Leo Fortune has been selected as the winner in its annual competition.
The yearly open call for art invites artists from across Minnesota to submit a creative interpretation of the Rec League logo. The winning design is printed on hundreds of t-shirts that are given to all athletes at the season-ending festival in March.
The Minnesota Hockey Recreation League began the search for a design in August 2024 with an open call for art inviting submissions from artists throughout Minnesota. "Constellation" by artist Leo Fortune was selected as the winning design.
Leo Fortune, an emerging artist and longtime educator, is known for their contemporary eco healing watercolor paintings. Fortune portrays nature through the depth of color contrasts and the detailed use of line. Their signature touch is a background of colorful spirals, which sets the tone for grounded meditation. Their work has been shown at the Powderhorn Art Fair (2024) and the Arboretum Art In The Garden (2024).
The Minnesota Hockey Recreation League is entering its 16th season of offering a low-cost, low-commitment hockey alternative in the greater Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.
