Public art has always been an integral part of Detroit’s historic neighborhoods and their immersive sensory experience.Following five years of curating the world-famous Murals In The Market Festival, 1XRUN took its mural fest down the street to the Islandview neighborhood thus birthing Murals in Islandview (MIIV).In its inaugural year, MIIV produced 30+ murals made almost exclusively by Detroit-based artists. Now entering year two, we aim to continue our efforts to utilize the power of public art to unify residents, visitors, stakeholders and business owners.
This year, we will add 9 murals and 2 installations to the neighborhood along with four days of community centric programming ending with a block party co-sponsored by @gilbertfamilyfoundation The Gilbert Family Foundation, Mellon Foundation, Spot Lite, Montana Cans, 1XRUN, Hospitality Included, Design Core Detroit, The Michigan Glass Project, and more.
The week long festival kicks off September 24 and concludes with a giant Design Core Detroit’s Month of Design block party in front of Spot Lite on Saturday, September 28 from 1-8pm.
