In the summer of 2021 TreeTown Murals partnered with the Ann Arbor Art Center & Ypsilanti organization, Growing Hope to design and create a mural that highlights and celebrates Growing Hope’s contributions to the community through service, food, farming, and education. TTM created 2 bold and vibrant murals that aim to attract interest and inspire visitors, residence, and youth to visit and participate in their community farm and educational initiatives. The sister mural of this project is located in Ann Arbor on the side of @argusfarmstop painted by @yen.azzaro. The bees and pollinating flowers in all three murals symbolize the cross-pollination and vibrant connection the two communities (Ann Arbor & Ypsilanti) share while amplifying each other’s community through visual art.
