Free Press explores Detroit’s top 35 street art pieces
Detroit is a street artist Mecca. Check out why in an amazing feature from the Detroit Free Press.
Detroit is a Mecca for street artists. That’s part of the reason why Eastern Market-based 1xRun decided to host the upcoming 9-day mural festival called Murals in the Market, which will bring street artists from around the world to Detroit from Sept. 17-25.
Before they get here, however, take some time to explore what’s already in Detroit. Start with this amazing feature by Detroit Free Press writer Mark Stryker and photographer/videographer Romain Blanquart, which lays out Detroit’s top 35 street art pieces, from the Alley Project in southwest Detroit, to Charles McGee’s untitled 1974 modernist mural in downtown Detroit, to the many pieces of the Grand River Creative Corridor, and more.
Enjoy!
