LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – A new art piece has been installed at the REO Town Central Substation as part of the rotating digital art program, “Art Moves REO.”
The program, which was launched by the Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) in 2022, called on Lansing artists to submit a digital image of their artwork to be installed on the substation.
The new piece was chosen by a panel of representatives from BWL, the City of Lansing, REO Town Commercial Association and the Arts Council of Greater Lansing. The mural is a recreation of a painting called “A Long Line of Women.” According to the Arts Council of Greater Lansing, the piece represents women’s connections to each other through family, friendship or mentorship.
“I was excited for my work to be chosen for the BWL and REO Town project because I’m committed to depicting positive representations of women and especially Black and Brown women, immigrants and people with complex cultural backgrounds.” said artist Teresa Dunn. “As a Mexican American woman myself, this issue is close to my heart.”
The mural is on display at the W Malcolm X Street and S Washington Avenue structure in REO Town.
