Now, no matter where you are in the state, you can learn about public art and celebrate it with every town and community. That\u2019s what is exciting about this new tool,\u201d said John Bracey, executive director of the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs. \u201cVisitors, tourists, or business leaders who are considering relocating to Michigan can, by using this tool, dive a little deeper into our culture and have an entertaining experience at the same time.\u201d<br \/>\nAfter downloading the free MI Amazing Art Tour app here, <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/mi-art-tours\/id893659250?ls=1&#038;mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/mi-art-tours\/id893659250?ls=1&#038;mt=8<\/a>, users can search various categories of art, including murals, sculpture, and architecture, and the app will then lead them through a tour of those pieces, some within a small radius, others spanning the entire state. Other features include the ability to bookmark and \u201clike\u201d various tours on Facebook and exploring pieces of art within a certain radius of the patron.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/14july\/artapp1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nMCACA has partnered with curators across the state to compile a diverse and eclectic range of customized tours for patrons.
