This weekend's show is all about art....really, REALLY big art that you can find around Michigan.

We are talking all about murals, these giant art installations that are popping up everywhere, and making our cities and towns that much more beautiful.


We were inspired to explore this topic by the recent creation of the absolutely AWESOME Shine Bright Saginaw Mural Project. It's the second-largest mural in the United States, and we are lucky to have it right here in Pure Michigan. It's incredible, and we have project director Mark Flegenheimer on to tell us how Saginaw rallied around this project to make it happen.....with all private funding.


We'll also visit with Experience Jackson about Bright Walls, their multi-year initiative that has transformed downtown into a walkable gallery, and our friends at Visit Detroit about the beautiful murals you can see throughout our state's largest city.


And don't miss our first guest, we landed nationally recognized mural artist, and Midland Michigan native, Joey Salamon to explain the process behind developing one of these works of art, and what goes into actually painting them. It's fascinating.
