MSPortraits

Get your “MSPortrait” drawn by expert illustrators. Answer a few questions about why you live here and what you make to walk away with a personalized portrait.

Pollen brings together art and story to create a unique and engaging Northern Spark experience. Pollen artists will illustrate the stories of Northern Spark participants and show how they “make it” in MSP by creating a portrait of their personal experiences. The stories shared will inspire fellow Northern Sparkers to think about the impact they hope to make here. These drawings, or “MSPortraits,” are highly personalized and optimized for social sharing.

Pollen is a digital platform dedicated to building better-connected communities. Founded in the belief that connecting is about more than exchanging business cards, we share the stories behind individuals, we turn opportunities into realities, and we champion getting off the couch to learn about the world.
