This July, we are bringing 21 artists from around the United States to paint 21 species that are Threatened or Endangered in the state of Michigan along the 131 underpass next to the Blue Bridge in Downtown Grand Rapids.
To celebrate these rare forms of life, we will be having a Grand Opening Festival with an eco art market, conservation organizations to get involved with, educational speakers and live music!
The best part? IT’S FREE AND FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!
