The City of New Baltimore, MI, in collaboration with the New Baltimore Arts and Culture Commission, is proud to announce the unveiling of a stunning new mural titled “Welcome to New Baltimore.” This vibrant artwork, located in the heart of downtown, celebrates the unique beauty and dynamic spirit of our community throughout the year.
The "Welcome to New Baltimore" mural captures the essence of our city's life, showcasing the scenic and cherished Anchor Bay and the customary events that bring our city together. From the serene waterfront views to the bustling festivals and community gatherings, this 32’ x 12’ mural conveys a visual narrative from spring to winter of what makes New Baltimore a special place to live, work, and visit.
The project was spearheaded by the New Baltimore Arts and Culture Commission, which aims to enrich the city's cultural landscape through public art. This mural is a testament to their mission, transforming a once-ordinary wall into a masterpiece that reflects our community’s pride and joy.
The mural was created by Justin Rose, a renowned local artist known for his ability to capture the spirit of a place through bold colors and intricate details. Justin’s work on this project involved extensive community engagement, ensuring that the mural resonates with the experiences and memories of New Baltimore residents.
The unveiling ceremony will take place on August 21, 2024, at 6:00 at the corner of Alfred and Washington in historic downtown New Baltimore. The event will feature remarks from Mayor Tom Semaan, the artist Justin Rose, and members of the Arts and Culture Commission, followed by a reception at The Local Goat. All residents and visitors are invited to join in the celebration and be among the first to view this new landmark.
