MIDLAND, MICHIGAN

Midland, located west of Bay City and northwest of Saginaw, is situated where the Tittabawassee and Chippewa Rivers merge. It was originally known in the early 1800s as a fur trading post for the American Fur Trading Company. By the late 1800s the Dow Manufacturing Company was founded in Midland - its world headquarters is still located there. Downtown Midland is adjacent to a riverfront area and the “Tridge”, a three-way bridge that spans the spot where the Chippewa and Tittabawassee Rivers meet.
 
Midland boasts historic architecture, especially structures designed by Alden B. Dow, who introduced modern design to Midland and created over 130 structures during his 50-year career. His innovative and dynamic structures initiated an architectural heritage that is unprecedented in the United States. Arts and cultural resources include Midland Center for the Arts, Dow Gardens, Dow Diamond, Chippewa Nature Center, Alden B. Dow Home and Studio, Herbert H. Dow House, and more. -(gogreat.com)

Public Arts Midland is a space to help people create connections through public art. “We believe that art connects, heals, inspires, teaches, and speaks to us in myriad ways that build stronger and more vibrant communities. Public art gives our community a collective voice and a way to express our values while it brings awareness of and beauty to our city’s physical and cultural landscape. Art inspires us and propels us forward, giving a voice to diverse experiences and people. Art is a catalyst for belonging and provides an opportunity to share our stories and be an observer.” -(midlandfoundation.org)
