Established in 2011, the Lincoln Street Art Park, located at 5926 Lincoln St. in Detroit is a community arts project tucked behind a recycling center on Holden Avenue. Items dropped off for recycling can find a new life as a piece of artwork in the park.
The Lincoln Street Art Park also features incredible displays of graffiti, such as the lovely and sizable owl.
