LANSING, Michigan (WILX) – If you’ve been to downtown Lansing recently, you’ve likely noticed some of the artwork that has popped up on the sides of buildings.
Through his Muralmatics program, Dustin Hunt uses art to teach children math concepts. Over the summer, several students carried their brushes to the side of the Granger building. Hunt, together with the non-profit organization Building Child and Family Initiatives, shows the faces of the next generation on the streets of downtown Lansing.
For Jamie Griggs, CEO of BCFI, the mural represents the future of Lansing from the hands of the children who painted it.
“I think it’s just great for each of these kids to have their faces represented in downtown Lansing and the message they’re trying to get across in the community.”
BCFI executive director Marian Bryant says the mural tells the story of the next generation.
“It shows the vitality of the youth in our church and the creativity of the youth in our church. We were just very proud to be part of this project. “
To see the new mural, take a trip to the Granger Building in downtown Lansing, located on the corner of Grand Avenue and Michigan Avenue.
