Eagletown on Boardman Lake Loop

Stuff We Love

Aug. 9, 2025

Last week, a new mural joined the Art on the TART collection, which runs along the Boardman Lake Loop in downtown Traverse City. Eagletown, created by local artist Rik Yannott in memory of his late grandparents, Catherine Baldwin and George Yannott Sr., stretches across the GT Profile Building near the NMC University Center trail access. Rik Yannott is an indigenous artist living in Peshawbestown, and his mural is inspired by his family’s Anishinaabek heritage and ongoing connection to the land and water. Per Art on the TART, “Two prominent Migizi, eagles, are framing the mural. The work highlights the natural surroundings of our region, featuring Leelanau County and northern Michigan, the view of west Grand Traverse Bay from Elder’s Park in Peshawbestown, and more.” See more details, and explore more public art installations, at traversetrails.org/art-on-the-tart.
