The Collective
Something is taking shape here.
The Collective Building is the next community-inspired public art project from ART Doing Good.
Right now, the wall is intentionally blank. Before the art begins, we’re listening.
We want to understand the perspectives of the people who live here, visit here and help shape this community, what connects us, and what we want others to know about Howell. Share a person, place, organization, tradition, experience or everyday moment that matters to you. Tell us what you hope the artist understands about this community and how you hope the finished artwork makes people feel.
Your input will be shared with the artist selected for the project and translated into artwork that reflects our collective story and welcomes others into our community.
Share your inspiration below.
What happens next?
WE LISTEN
Community members share the people, places, experiences and connections that matter to them.
WE CREATE
That input becomes part of the inspiration behind an original work of public art.
WE CONNECT
When the mural is complete, this page will become its permanent home, where visitors can explore the artwork, discover the ideas behind it and find ways to connect with the community.
Keep Watching
The wall won’t stay blank for long.
Follow along as community inspiration becomes art, and check back here for updates as The Collective begins to take shape.

Art + Impact Made Possible by
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.
