What is After Dark?

Our mission is centered on creating equitable opportunities for local artists in Grand Rapids, MI. Through the journey of our mission, we found a way to activate art, fund local artists, increase local business revenue, city tourism, and bring together the Grand Rapids community, yielding the creation of After Dark GR.

After Dark GR bridges the gap between local artists & businesses to create over 50+ murals in the city of Grand Rapids. This high-scale art activation is exciting, uniting, and empowering, as artists, businesses, and community members come together to provide the city with more elements of artistic expression and more opportunities for artists.
