Coordinating Artist Hint #2

In 2009, I brought Hope to the community,
In the form of a mural at ARMC.
I've helped create murals all over the state,
And Alpena's enthusiasm is proving to be truly great!

Who am I?

   Mural Location Hint #1

In the park I do wait,
Beautifully sculpted near a tree,
And if you can find my location,
A mural you'll soon see.

Where am I?
