MUSKEGON, MI – A 60-day crowdfunding effort is being launched to turn two rusty railroad overpasses into works of art.
The MuskegonCity Public Art Initiative (MCPAI) is leading the effort to fund the public mural Muskegon Rails Project. Four murals will be painted on both sides of railroad passes over Seaway Drive between Laketon and Hackley avenues.
The city of Muskegon, Muskegon Heights and Norton Shores collaborated to turn “eyesores to eye-popping,” according to a news release.
“It’s just a way to brighten your drive every day if you’re going up and down Seaway Drive,” said Judy Hayner, project director with MCPAI.
