Art Bytes: Muralist Wendy Popko and Small but Strong in Center Line

Artist Wendy Popko’s mural Small, but Strong celebrates the rich history and promising future of the 1.7-square-mile City of Center Line. In collaboration with the Detroit Institute of Art’s Partners in Public Art program, Popko’s brushstrokes transformed an exterior wall of the David W. Hanselman Municipal Complex into a joyful depiction of city pride. In Popko’s work, the bold use of turquoise references The Spirit of Detroit statue — a nod to the city’s slogan as “The heart of Metro Detroit” — and three prominent arches pay homage to the iconic architecture of Saint Clement Catholic Church. Bursts of color transform into pathways, both literal and metaphorical, to showcase both the Iron Belle Trail and the numerous career tracks available to Center Line students.
