City Walls Detroit

East English Village Love Letters going up

Calling all Detroit artists.

Studios is offering workshops for artists who want to learn how to create poly tab / parachute cloth murals, a game-changing method for painting, transporting, and installing murals more efficiently.

This technique allows artists to paint indoors, ship work more easily, install murals faster, and take on larger public art opportunities with more flexibility. Less time fighting ladders, more time making the city look like it has sense.

Led by internationally known muralist , the workshops cover:

Creating murals on poly tab
Installation techniques
Shipping and transporting murals
Ways to increase income through faster mural installs

Artists interested in growing their mural practice can register through Fel’le Art Studios.

Mural season starts with a love letter to the East Side.

At the Shoemaker Bus Terminal on E. Warren & Lillibridge, artist introduces East Side Love Letters, a City Walls Detroit mural activation rooted in neighborhood pride, public art, and love for the community.

This project brings color, story, and meaning to a place people move through every day.

Congrats again to for this year’s Motor City Makeover t-shirt design! Motor City Makeover 365 is a citywide cleanup and beautification initiative. Over the past 30 years MCM 365 has evolved, partnering with block clubs and associations on their efforts has become essential to the success of this initiative. Annually, thousands of volunteers across Detroit come together to clean and beautify neighborhoods, parks, playgrounds, and around businesses, schools, and places of worship. Motor City Makeover kick-off beautification and clean-up projects take place three Saturdays in May based on City Council Districts.
