The Great Mural Project - Saginaw, MI
The Great Mural Project is composed of a group of engaged and connected young professional Saginaw City lovers who believe that every great city needs art, music and cultural events. They pride themselves on their willingness to do their part to enrich our community by transforming eyesores or forgotten space with beautiful murals and community art installations. These will be inspired and informed by our neighbors, designed and sketched by a skilled graphic designer, painted by volunteers and supported by many community organizations and businesses. They recently took on a project for 3 large street murals that can be found in Downtown Saginaw. The project will enhance the three intersections along Court Street with colorful asphalt paintings in the intersections and crosswalks. The theme of this project was ‘Diversity and Inclusion’ in Saginaw. You can find pictures below of the collect artwork. Seven local artists have created these three asphalt mural designs throughout the day. The seven artists have collaborated closely over the last month with a diverse committee of local leaders to create asphalt art that celebrates the diversity in the Saginaw community. The team of talented artists includes Lark Allen, Nyesha Clark-Young, Stephan Hargash, Geoffrey Pelkey, Laura Mettam, Jesse Schmidt, and Tristan Zamora.
