Downtown Farmington, Michigan is getting a vibrant new centerpiece: the Farmington Art Promenade. This pedestrian-friendly corridor, also called “The Promenade” or sometimes the “Art Park Promenade” in planning documents, will transform a one-block stretch of downtown into a walkable gallery and gathering space. Spanning from Thomas Street to Grand River Avenue, the Art Promenade links key community hubs: it connects to Riley Park and the Walter E.
