TreeTown Murals concludes our celebration of our newest public art installation, “Bridges of Culture” with a new reel. Featuring drone footage from the early October 2026 ribbon cutting ceremony with new footage crafted to give our followers wide and detailed images of the mural.

Thank you to the City of Dearborn Government officials, community members, our fans and new followers who have celebrated with TTM by sharing post, stories and reels featuring “Bridges of Culture”. Danijel and I are so proud of this vibrant work of art and our partnership with the City of Dearborn, this achievement belongs to all of us.

Commissioned by The City of Dearborn, our mural, “Bridges of Culture”, sits in the heart of the bustling Warren Business District, which is full of local businesses, shops, restaurants and bakeries.

The artwork colorfully captures the bustling energy of a traditional souq with its rich textiles, coffee, food and community life. By weaving together themes of connection, family, and leisure, it honors the profound depth of Dearborn’s Arab American community.

Tantre Farm has been a friend and community partner of Mary Thiefels and TreeTown Murals (TTM) for over 20 years. Mary painted the farm’s first Veg Truck and farmers market signs in her early 20’s. Tantré has produced some of the highest-quality produce for over 25 years and was one of Washtenaw County’s first CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs. True farm-to-table, distributing their produce across SE Michigan to local folks, restaurants, and markets.

We were thrilled to work with Richard and Deb again this summer on the new veg truck art. “Best looking truck on the road!” says one fan of the farm.

Check out Tantré Farm’s Sunflower Market and the new signage by TTM.
