Colors of Wyandotte is a three-part public community art project in that celebrates a Downriver Detroit classic – paint-by-numbers! Presenting (1) the Coloring Book Artist’s Contest, (2) the Wyandotte Coloring Book, and (3) the Wyandotte Color Hunt.

Why does your community need this project?

Wyandotte is a historically significant and culturally rich community. The City and the DDA help promote a vibrant downtown atmosphere through the effective use of resources, placemaking, historic preservation and marketing. The business owners constantly strive for fun and community-focused experiences that help promote the Downtown area and create lasting memories for their customers, patrons and visitors. Our community needs this project because it helps share the important and lively story of Wyandotte while helping to promote our continued growth and development through arts in a post-industrial era.

What do you hope to achieve through this project?

We hope to achieve several meaningful outcomes including that creation and distribution of a unique coloring book that celebrates Wyandotte’s special history and culture. We hope to help activate and promote the local artists, business owners, and entrepreneurs in Wyandotte. We hope to provide a fun and entertaining experience for a diverse group of residents and visitors.
