Miles and Miles of Murals Walking Tour

Miles and Miles of Murals

Who says art museums must be inside, enclosed with 4 walls, a ceiling and floor?  Swirling all about us in Grand Rapids, in each of our city neighborhoods, vibrant, and intriguing artwork is appearing outside on sides of buildings, underneath highway overpasses, on retaining walls, street surfaces and utility boxes. These are murals, street art, wall art, painted by artists that celebrate beauty, or calls to action, and tributes to heroes.  The murals transform otherwise unnoticeable, or worse, blighted spaces into must-see, energizing attractions.  Viewing these murals is a study in local history, community activism and sheer expressions of creativity… art all the time!
