About this mural:

This project was completed in conjunction to the Muskegon Trainbridge Project. "The four Michigan artists who did the murals were among the 16 entries received during the open call for artists. The Downtown Arts Committee, along with the representatives from all three cities, narrowed the competition down to six finalists, and the final four artists were selected through a public vote. Nearly 2,000 votes were received through online and in-person voting at three public libraries. The four murals chosen for this project, all located on Seaway Drive, were the top four vote-getters... “Pride and Opportunity,” by Nash, a Muskegon High School graduate with a fine arts degree from Grand Valley State University who is now a Grand Rapids freelance illustrator, is a historic montage of iconic Muskegon images.... “The Muskegon Rails Project is just one more example of the innovative and creative energy of Muskegon these days, and these massive murals are going to be enjoyed by literally thousands of our Muskegon residents and visitors every day,” said Judith Hayner, project director of the MuskegonCity Public Art Initiative and retired executive director of the Muskegon Museum of Art. “Muskegon’s public art collection has been instrumental in the exciting regeneration that we are experiencing in our community today, and these four works of art are remarkable additions to this collection.”
