Michigan Peaceworks to create mural for downtown Ann Arbor

More art is on its way to downtown Ann Arbor, and it’s only going to reinforce the stereotype that Ann Arbor is made up of a bunch of art-loving peaceniks.

Michigan Peaceworks, which is headquartered downtown, plans to begin work on a mural this fall. The mural will be centered on, you guessed it, peace in Ann Arbor and go up on the side of the Alley Bar. It should be finished by next spring.

"It's going to be a pretty large mural," says Laura Russello, executive director of Michigan Peaceworks.

The Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority and Main Street Association are chipping in $2,000 to pay for the project. The rest of the cost is coming from fundraising and private donations.

Weekly updates will be posted on the DDA’s website once work begins. The project still have to be approved by the city before it can go forward.
