​The Great Mural Project
In 2018, the idea of utilizing artistic talent, making Saginaw beautiful and creating development fueled a venture called the Great Mural Project.  "We believe that public art is valuable in fighting blight, revitalizing neighborhoods, growing and supporting the Saginaw artistic community, and ensuring every single resident of Saginaw can access and enjoy art. We are proud to be contributing in a small way to this culture that many before us worked hard to create.” -(greatmuralproject.com)
