<div>You've all witnessed the amazing restoration of the railroad overpass and wing walls on Huron St. and First St., the first of a two-fold public art initiative. This major structure is seen by drivers as they enter or exit the west side of downtown. This successful community effort turned a crumbling, rusted structure into a beautiful work of art that welcomes those driving into our city.

<div><strong>This summer, we are doing it again, and we need your help to raise the remaining $15,000 needed to complete the project!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This time, we will restore and turn the overpass and wing walls on the bridge at North Main St. and the Argo Dam into another large-scale work of art. The image will "Welcome" the <strong>80,000+</strong> locals and visitors coming and going from Ann Arbor via M-14, and will also feature the word "Gratitude" on the south-facing side.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are very excited about this remarkable feat. Please see the impressive concept images below, designed by Tree Town Murals' Partner and Creative Director Danijel Matanic!
