The Review Magazine : May-June 2022

The most satisfying part of ArtPath for the co-creators, Katrina and Emily, is watching the public engage with the works. From a small child taking her parents along an install and showing them every detail as if she put them there herself, to the photos taken in front the many murals, every smile is soul-filling. One resident stated when they saw the ArtPath install, “Someone loves Lansing as much as I do!” This project creates community pride and love. Together, local artists and fabulous Lansing residents strengthen our community through creativity, diversity, and appreciation. I could not be prouder to be part of this wonderful, creative community. Emily Stevens is the manager of leisure services for the City of Lansing Parks and Recreation Department.
