Submit to Saginaw St. CIA Mural Sponsorship Program

The SSCIA Mural Program partners with local businesses to bring vibrant, large-scale murals and other art projects to the West Saginaw Street corridor. By showcasing the work of local artists, the program aims to energize the corridor, celebrate creativity, and establish West Saginaw Street as Lansing’s official Mural District.

Through this initiative, the SSCIA provides funding and resources, including connections to local muralists and artists, to support businesses interested in hosting projects on their properties.
