ANN ARBOR, MI — A public art installation celebrating diversity at Gallup Park in Ann Arbor has been vandalized with pro-Palestine messages, prompting a local nonprofit to organize a “painting party” for its restoration.
The outdoor exhibit, located at 3000 Fuller Road, was targeted overnight with graffiti featuring phrases such as “embrace revolution” and “free Palestine,” according to Chris Page, a spokesperson for the organization overseeing the installation.
The vandalism has sparked a response from the community, which is rallying to repair the artwork. The nonprofit plans to invite volunteers to help restore the display and ensure it continues to represent its intended message of inclusivity and unity.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and underscores the impact such political statements can have on public art and community spaces.
