South Haven Area Mural Project
South Haven Area Mural Project
Who We Are
South Haven Area Mural Project (Sh-amp) is a new non-profit satellite branch of Foundry Hall. We are an artist collective working with local business owners and residents who want to participate in a South Haven's beautification initiative. We believe that the often overlooked areas – parking lots and side streets - offer a great opportunity for collaborative public art projects. Many of these areas are highly visible and near large parking lots. The murals we create will catch the eye of visitors, offer locals a more pleasing environment, and encourage public interaction with art. Sh-amp is dedicated to using self-expression as a tool for positive social change, and our work is impossible without donations and grants. Please consider making a tax deductible contribution today to ensure that our project continues.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enrich our environment while nourishing creativity though large-scale murals. These paintings will inspire the viewer, form community, challenge perception while beatifying our neighborhood.
Our Vision
This project will promote South Haven and the surrounding area as being at the heart of Michigan's “art coast” and generate more interest in visiting our community while supporting the local art community.
Our Values
We believe in expression, collaboration, community and education.
Location
Our current projects for 2017 include the exterior wall of Rock ‘n’ Road Cycle, The exterior basement wall of Black River Tavern, the interior of South Haven Ice Rink.
We are currently planning the projects for 2018. If you have a wall that you’re interested in having painted by Sh-amp, please feel free to contact us.
