Stevie Wonder Wall

Dustin Hunt, ’07, is the tour de force behind some new Instagram-able street art. The co-organizer of Lansing’s Below the Stacks festival, he invited 11 internationally recognized muralists last fall to splash their vivid paintings around town. Hunt’s contribution is a massive creation in Old Town honoring Stevie Wonder, who grew up here. Some of the artists had never heard of Lansing, but city’s abundant blank buildings tantalized them.
