Art is the starting point. Connection is the purpose.
ART Doing Good creates public art shaped by community voices, local stories, and the places people care about most. Each mural invites people to look closer, explore the stories behind the work, and discover more about the community around them.
From there, the artwork becomes more than something to see. It becomes a bridge to local causes, volunteer opportunities, community events, and the good already happening around us.

What is ART Doing Good?
ART Doing Good is a nonprofit using community-inspired art to share local stories, strengthen community connections, and help people discover ways to get involved.
Through murals and creative projects, we gather ideas and inspiration from the community and transform them into public artwork created by different artists. Each installation is designed to reflect the spirit of Howell while connecting people to local nonprofits, community events, and opportunities to make a difference.
ART Doing Good is working in partnership with Founding Partner, Rotary Club of Howell, and Visionary Partners: Explore Brighton Howell Area, the City of Howell, Bank of Ann Arbor Livingston, Mugg & Bopps and Livingston County United Way.
Additional support has come from the Howell Carnegie District Library, the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce.
Our mission is to use community-inspired art to share stories and inspire generosity.
