CommonBond Communities is proud to announce the release of Allowing Flowers, a limited-edition book
created specifically for CommonBond Communities. Allowing Flowers features the work
of Alec Soth, an internationally renowned photographer who blends his unique style of
photography with the organization’s mission to provide homes for those most in need.
In Allowing Flowers, Soth captures the humanity of the word “home” in a powerful collection of images featuring seniors, families and children who live in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. The book features photos of the very people CommonBond helps; their ‘common bond’ is living in CommonBond Communities’ affordable apartments and town homes.
Allowing Flowers is a beautiful, 11”x12” bound, hard-cover book featuring full color
photos of CommonBond residents by Alec Soth. The book was designed by California
artist Catherine Mills, of Catherine Mills Design. Each book cover (both front and back)
is unique and one-of-a kind.
Premier donors (those who donate $5,000 or more to CommonBond’s first-ever capital-campaign) will receive a copy of the Allowing Flowers limited edition book. Those who commit to a gift of $25,000 or more will receive a personally signed and numbered print by Alec Soth in addition to the book. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and will create stable, supportive homes for people in need and “allow flowers” to bloom in their lives.
