PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION

PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION

In Metro Detroit

These are a few pictures from The Collab Project, a sizable exhibition at the Padzieski Gallery at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan. The Collab Project, the brainchild of Michelle Boggess, was the second of two exhibits marking the grand re-opening of the gallery.

Sixty Michigan artists of different disciplines -- painters, illustrators, sculptors, etc. -- were paired, most at random, to join talents in their different mediums with the goal of creating something altogether new in one month's time.

Of course, the few pictures here don't do it justice. The show is a burst of color, connection, community, and diversity. If at all possible, something you've got to see, and experience, in person.

I wasn't able to publish an edition of my ARTHAUS:Detroit newsletter last week, so I'm extra happy to be able to bring you a little something today. That said, for the next little while going forward, I and this little digest will appear as a little serendipity in your mailbox. Sometimes on Sundays. Sometimes Wednesdays. Other times, on occasions of special commemoration.
