Murals Document and Celebrate Communities
February 19, 2023 | 2-4PM
Murals document and celebrate communities
One of Detroit's most celebrated muralists Hubert Massey will join art historian Deborah Lubera Kawsky to talk about the motivations behind mural-making, the role of murals to enact positive change in the community and the importance of preserving/restoring murals as evidence of Detroit's rich design legacy. Deborah will have an update on the restoration of a mural by Alexander Girard, a leader in postwar American design. She is also investigating the future of the WPA murals in the Broadhead Armory.
Join artists, architects, art historians and community activists for a lecture series to celebrate the old and new in our neighborhoods.
Enjoy one or all five lectures. A bonus for series ticketholders is a tour of the newly restored Frederick Stearns House after the final lecture.
The presenters volunteer their services, so all proceeds go to support GPAA's free programming for senior citizens, veterans and students in art programs at area high schools.
