City of Wayne public art mural survey

The City of Wayne is partnering with the Detroit Institute of Arts to create a public mural on the sign shop in Goudy Park.

By Sarah Shurge – Goudy Park has been undergoing many changes recently and the City of Wayne Downtown Development Authority (DDA) wants your opinion for one of the next decisions.
The City of Wayne is partnering with the Detroit Institute of Arts to create a public mural in the park that will reflect our community.
“The DDA is thrilled to have been chosen for this project. It is in line with our DDA Plan to incorporate public art into the Downtown,” said Lori Gouin, DDA Director.
The artwork will be painted during the 2025 calendar year on the exterior north/east facing walls of the city building located in the lower court parking lot. This location will be the new and highly visible entrance to Goudy Park.
“It will also serve as the new main parking lot for Goudy Park once the renovations are completed,” said Gouin. “We hope for the mural to be a destination for individuals to take photos and enjoy the amenities that Goudy Park will offer.”
The community’s input is important, needed, and will help inform the design.
To gather the public’s opinion, a survey will be going live on February 15th and close on February 28th.
The survey includes three questions:
1) What themes or ideas should be incorporated into the artwork that best represents the City of Wayne?
2) Please share any additional thoughts or comments regarding the theme for this project.
3) Are you a resident of the City of Wayne?
To access the survey while it is live, scan the QR code and submit your answers.
“I am most looking forward to what input the community has in regard to what they would like to see there. Will it be floral? Will it be a depiction of the City’s past? We look forward to hearing from everyone,” said Gouin.
Be sure to fill out the survey and share what you think reflects our community!
