Map of Locations

"Walden" & "American Gothic" murals are located on each end of a 50' tall barn at 52 Stoddard Rd., Port Austin. Completed in 2013 by the Hygienic Dress League (HDL.) The "Walden" mural is a pigeon and the HDL logo. The "American Gothic" mural is a take/spoof from the classic farmer & his daughter with a pitchfork painting by Grant Wood. The HDL version of the mural features the man and woman in a suit with gas-masks.

The "Emergency Ark" sculpture installation was done in 2015 and located at 3598 Fehner Rd., Port Austin. Scott Hocking, the artist, took this deteriorating gothic style 1890's barn and re-built it created a free-standing sculpture.

"Secret Sky" by Catie Newell of Alibi Studio re-configured a barn by cutting through the barn to allow for the sky to pass through. This was completed in 2019 and located at 5201 N. Pinnebog Rd., Kinde MI.
