Black History Bicentennial Mural - Call for Artists
As a part of our Ann Arbor 200 project, the Ann Arbor District Library is seeking Black Artists to create artwork that reinterprets archival images from Ann Arbor's Black history. Each artist will create a two-dimensional piece of artwork (5:8 ratio) based on an image that artists will select from the AADL Archives. The artist’s final artwork will be reproduced at a larger size by the library and displayed outside the Downtown Library.
