Officially Licensed Michigan State University Artwork Coming Soon
Celebrating Spartan Pride Through Art
We’re excited to share an important milestone for Mitten Masterpiece. Our studio has officially been approved for licensing by Michigan State University, allowing us to create a new collection of MSU-inspired paint-by-number kits.
As a Michigan-based art brand, this partnership is especially meaningful to us. Michigan State has long been part of the fabric of our state—its campus, traditions, and community spirit are instantly recognizable to generations of Spartans and Michigan residents alike.
This new licensed collection will celebrate those iconic places and moments through the creative experience of paint-by-number.
A Natural Fit for Mitten Masterpiece
Mitten Masterpiece was founded with a simple idea: create artwork that celebrates the places and culture that make Michigan special.
This new collection is particularly meaningful to our studio. In addition to being a Michigan-based art brand, our founder also earned both a master’s degree and a PhD from Michigan State University, making this licensed partnership feel like a full-circle moment.
From our earliest kits inspired by Michigan landscapes to our growing collection of digital illustrations and fine art prints, our focus has always been on art with a strong sense of place.
Michigan State University represents exactly that. The campus, architecture, and traditions are deeply woven into Michigan’s identity, making it a natural inspiration for a new line of artwork.
What to Expect from the MSU Collection
Our upcoming MSU-inspired paint-by-number kits will feature carefully designed artwork highlighting recognizable elements of the Michigan State campus and Spartan tradition.
As with all Mitten Masterpiece kits, each design will be created with attention to detail, refined color palettes, and a composition that translates beautifully into a paint-by-number experience.
Every kit will include:
Pre-numbered canvas
Artist-grade acrylic paints
Fine detail brushes
Reference materials to guide the painting process
Our goal is to create artwork that Spartans will be proud to display in their homes, offices, dorms, or cottages.
Designed and Produced in Michigan
Just like the rest of our collection, the MSU-inspired kits will be designed and produced in Michigan by the Mitten Masterpiece studio.
This local connection is an important part of our brand. Each design reflects our appreciation for Michigan’s communities, landscapes, and institutions—including one of the most recognizable universities in the country.
Coming Soon
The first designs in the Michigan State University collection are currently in development and will be available soon.
If you’re a Spartan—or simply someone who loves Michigan—we think you’ll enjoy seeing these iconic scenes come to life through paint.
Stay tuned as we share previews of the artwork and announce the official release of the collection.
Go Green.
