Power of Words Project Comes to Manistique

In case you haven’t heard, the Power of Words Project is coming to Manistique this July. Manistique, along with Gladstone and Iron Mountain, will be receiving a Power of Words mural through a grant that CUPPAD received from ArtPlace America last year. Iron Mountain native and internationally acclaimed artist Mia Tavonatti created the Power of Words Project after winning Artprise in 2011. 

Each community will nominate and vote on ONE WORD that defines their vision for their future. The mural will be designed by Mia based on the selected word. Our mural will be painted on the side of the Peoples Store. Mia will bring in professional artists who will work alongside local artists and art students to complete our mural this July.

Lake Effect Arts has been working on this project for over a year and we are very happy that Manistique will be one of the first cities to receive a mural.
