KALAMAZOO, Mich. \u2014 A vibrant new mural is coming to Kalamazoo.<\/p>\n
The artist and design have been chosen for the 3,000 square foot public mural, set to be painted on a large wall facing North Westnedge Avenue at the corner of West Willard Street, on the side of a large industrial building.<\/p>\n
Prolific muralist Patrick Hershberger will carry out the work this September, according to a release from Bike Friendly Kalamazoo. <\/p>\n
Entitles “Riding the KRVT,” the mural will depict a variety of cyclists and the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail, or KRVT.<\/p>\n
The concept, expressing the theme of the joys of bicycling, was chosen by Clark Logic, who owns the building the mural will be painted on.<\/p>\n
“The Kalamazoo River Valley Trail is such an important development for our city. It connects our local non-motor traffic to all these incredible adjacent trails across the state of Michigan. My new mural, ‘Riding the KRVT,\u2019 will be located on a bike lane that joins with the path,” said Patrick Hershberger. <\/p>\n
436 West Willard Street is a historic industrial property, dating back over a century. Clark Logic acquired the property in 2024, and has focused on restoring and modernizing the site.<\/p>\n
