August 12 - Noon to 6pm  - in Detroit. Meet in the Street: Mural - Music - Mingle

On August 12, we gathered in the Brightmoor neighborhood in Detroit at the Cross Pollination Project and celebrated the work of the community who created a street mural painting project, with financial support from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs. The team is now creating a large game board mural around this butterfly mural designed by Charles "Chazz" Miller. This mural will be connected with a neighborhood trail that highlights the Urban Tea House. Working with Rosalyn Flint, we are excited to see all the progress she and her team are making and look forward to future projects together.
