The Best of the Detroit Beautification Project

The Detroit Beautification Project is the brainchild of two Southeast Michigan based art organizations: Contra Projects of Hamtramck and 323 East Gallery in Royal Oak. Numerous street artists of national and international renown, plus a handful of Detroit’s best local taggers, have been invited by project organizers to legally place their marks on high-visibility real estate throughout the city, primarily in three locations: Grand River Avenue between I-94 and the Lodge Freeway, Jos Campau Street between Hamtramck Drive and McNichols Rd, and the Eastern Market District. The project has truly ushered in a new era, nee a Renaissance, in the history of Detroit Street Art. Today, I Love Detroit Michigan presents, for your consideration, our collection of what we believe to be the very best of the project. We also invite you to click on the links below to read our individual posts for each of the nine locations that make up the project thus far. Stay tuned to I Love Detroit Michigan in the coming weeks and months for our continuing coverage of additions to the project that we’re sure will follow. Enjoy! ~I♥DM
