Downtown Ypsilanti

#1 Riverside Arts 

As you walk past the hanging yellow chair sculpture and through the pillars leading to Huron St., consider how yourself or a character might experience a situation where they feel tangled or stuck like the chair sculpture? How might they navigate that stuck feeling, and how might they walk through the pillars to a new environment?

#2 City Hall

As you look at the mural, notice the eagle and the duck. Why do you think the artist included these two birds? What do they have to do with Ypsilanti?  

#3 Washington Street Parking Lot Mural (Near Wyrd Byrd)

Write about your ideal Summer day. What is the weather like? What do you see or smell? What are you doing?  

#4 Michigan Ave. Library

Write a story from the perspective of one of the two people in the sculpture - what things do they see, smell, like, dislike, think, or do? What conversation are they having? 

#5 Ypsilanti Transit Center/Washington Street Parking Lot

This mural shows how the bus connects Ypsilanti with Ann Arbor. What are some important connections in your life? 

#6 Corner Health Mural

What do you see that represents caring? Describe how you can care for your family, your neighborhood, or your world.
