SUMMARY:Community Mural Painting
DESCRIPTION:Help bring Currents in Color to life! Created by Detroit-based multidisciplinary designer Brontae Williamson\, this community painting project invites visitors to add their own brushstrokes to a vibrant mural inspired by Detroit’s people\, waterways\, and natural beauty. \nThroughout the summer\, participants will paint one of sixteen 4-foot-square paint-by-number-style panels that together will form a 32-by-8-foot mural. Once complete\, the panels will be assembled and permanently installed on the west-facing wall of the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. The finished work celebrates Detroit’s creative spirit\, the region’s rich maritime heritage\, and the legacy of Paint-by-Number—a Metro Detroit innovation that transformed art into a shared experience. \nLearn More Here – https://www.detroithistorical.org/events/community-mural-painting-1
