About

Beautiful colorful mural on 70-year-old abandoned silos that helped revitalize an otherwise dull area in Saginaw. It’s breathtaking to view it both up close and from across the river (or from a boat).  

The artist is Okuda San Miguel from Madrid Spain. The painting took three weeks, six additional artists, and covered 70,000 square feet surface area, reaching a height of 150 feet. It was a $750,000 project. Per Okuda “The concept is about freedom and about diversity
