Neighborhoods across the United States, and worldwide, have discovered the benefits of infusing art into their identity, and have transformed themselves into international art destinations. Since 2018, the Ann Arbor Art Center (A2AC) has been leading a similar initiative through its Art in Public program. The objective is to install a concentrated group of public art projects in Ann Arbor's growing Creative District on the west side of downtown. Join us for this guided walking tour of Ann Arbor’s Creative District, where we will visit the public art projects A2AC Murals and A2AC Alleys, and discuss the process and impactful benefits of enriching Ann Arbor with engaging public art.
Please note: This is an in-person, off-site field trip. Enrollment is limited to 15 attendees.
Participants should gather at the Ann Arbor Art Center, 117 West Liberty, and be prepared to walk about one mile, with stops. The tour will be guided by a member of the Ann Arbor Art Center Professional Staff.
