Detroit, MI: On Friday, November 1, 2024 Mexicantown unveiled the Alebrijes on Bagley at 3409 Bagley St. in Detroit, between 24th Street and I-75 Service Drive.

Elton Monroy Durán, a Detroit based visual artist, was selected to create a series of sculptures for the Bagley Street Mexicantown streetscape.  The five sculptures Durán created are inspired by Mexican folk art Alebrijes and are life-size, fantastical animals made out of car parts, symbolizing the contributions of the Latino community to the Motor City.
