A fresh initiative designed to infuse art into our community
We’re paired downtown building and business owners with local, regional, and national artists who will transform the building walls into something spectacular over the next few months—providing the community and visitors the opportunity to experience and enjoy these large, vibrant works of visual art.
To make this dream a reality, we crowdfunded in July of 2020 to raise $50,000 through the site Patronicity. These funds will pay the artists and cover other mural expenses like equipment rentals, paint, permits etc. Once this goal was met, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) matched our $50,000—doubling the impact of all donations leading up to the goal through their Public Spaces Community Places program.
Mural installations will take place throughout August, September, and October of 2020.
