Mural Project
“If you walk through the city after sundown…”
-Mark VanSlambrouck
Scattered throughout the city are poems written by young people. These poems are accompanied by the artwork of Conrad Kaufman.
These murals were made possible with help from the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, the Gilmore Foundation, the Kalamazoo Community Foundation, Pharmacia and Upjohn Community Arts Grants, and the donations of the Members of Friends of Poetry, Inc. Photos taken by Friends of Poetry unless otherwise noted.
