The project is a partnership between the Downtown Development Authority, the Padzieski Gallery and the Dearborn Community Fund. 

Corder said the artist, Rick Brown of Detroit, took a lot of cues from the DDA brand to incorporate into the mural. 

“They created all these symbols for connectivity and ingenuity and togetherness that really symbolize what Dearborn is and does in these areas,” she said. “So, the artist took that and included that in his design.” 

Corder said the design is reminiscent of textile patterns, as well.
