Welcome to another exciting episode of our podcast, where we delve into the captivating world of art and creativity. I'm thrilled to introduce our guest for today, none other than Terry Dickinson, the Interim Executive Director of Ausable Artisan Village nestled in the heart of downtown Grayling. But that's not all there is to Terry – he's a true luminary in the realm of mural art.
Picture this: back in 1974 to 1975, Terry adorned the streets of Bay City and Essexville with an astonishing 52 murals. Yes, you heard that right – 52 stunning murals that brought life and vibrancy to those communities. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Brace yourselves, because Terry's artistic journey continued with over 200 more murals gracing the charming town of Frankenmuth, with the count still climbing.
But here's where it gets even more intriguing. Our paths intertwined during the "City of Mural" Project by the non-profit organization United We Go. As we embarked on a quest to explore the world of murals, I had the privilege of getting to know Mr. Dickinson on a deeper level. The universe seemed to conspire in our favor, leading me to Terry, who not only continues to actively craft mesmerizing artwork but also calls Grayling his home.
Ever wondered how Bay City earned its moniker as the Mural City? Well, wonder no more, because Terry holds the key to this captivating history. Our conversation, spanning an hour and a half, uncovered the fascinating origins of this nickname and the artistic magic that Terry weaved into its fabric.
Before we wrap up, I invite you to explore the wonders of Ausable Artisan Village. To immerse yourself in the artistry that Terry champions, be sure to visit their website at www.artisanvillage.org. It's a haven where creativity knows no bounds.
So, dear listeners, prepare to be enthralled by Terry Dickinson's artistic journey, the stories behind those breathtaking murals, and the essence of a city transformed by art. Let's dive in!
