We are so saddened to hear of the loss of Nyesha LaToy Clark-Young, one of our amazing Shine Bright artists. Nyesha was a bright light in our arts community, and her memory will live on in the many lives she touched in our community and through her art. ❤️

These colorful silos stand in Old Town Saginaw along the Saginaw River. They were painted by Madrid artist Okuda San Miguel with the help of a team of local artist. It is said to be one of the largest murals in the United States. If you want to check it out for yourself you can see it at 105 Lyon St, Saginaw, MI 48602. If you do go to see it be sure to check out some of the local shops, restaurants and bars in the area along Hamilton and court streets. If you have young kids the Saginaw Children's zoo is not far away.

In case you missed yesterday's video, our next step of the shine bright project is to get the mural lit; what we are calling "SHINE BRIGHT AT NIGHT". This is a rendering of the lighting to give a glimpse of what the space may look like. You can learn more and contribute at https://bit.ly/shinebrightatnight

SHINE BRIGHT AT NIGHT! We’re thrilled with the way that the Saginaw community and partners across the region have rallied around the Shine Bright Mural Project and provided financial and in-kind support. Many have asked how they can contribute. Our next step is to light the murals and develop the long term care of the space. Learn More & Give at https://bit.ly/shinebrightatnight
