New Reflections Portal Sculpture at Palmer Park

11/30/2015

0 Comments

People for Palmer Park has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season!
One exciting new addition to Palmer Park located near the intersection of 7 Mile and Ponchartrain is a sculpture donated to us by John Rizzo, an artist/sculptor who is presently employed as the Wood Shop Manager at the College for Creative Studies. Known as the Reflections Portal, the sculpture stands 11’ high and 9’, and is constructed of hot rolled mild steel and mirror polished stainless steel. In the words of artist John Rizzo, “The gateway acts as a point of transformation for those passing through it to reinterpret the space that surrounds them, and to heighten their perception of things normally unnoticed.”

To enhance the experience, People for Palmer Park commissioned a gravel pathway through the portal. Special thanks to Mr. Rizzo, the city of Detroit for their support in moving, storing and installing the structure, and to Michigan Recreational Construction for their installation work, and for Joiner Construction for building the gravel pathway. We hope this is the beginning of a true sculpture garden in Palmer Park!

MAPP to pitch at Livernois SOUP 6/25!

6/24/2015

0 Comments

Thursday, June 25th at Lola's on the Avenue
Arrive 6:00-6:30pm, pitches start promptly at 7:00pm.
Cost only $5 to attend/eat/vote!

Magic of Art in Palmer Park (MAPP) - artist-led creative workshops - has been selected as one of only two projects that will pitch at Livernois SOUP.

Detroit SOUP is a microgranting dinner celebrating and supporting creative projects in Detroit. For a donation $5 attendees receive soup, salad, bread and a vote and hear from presentations ranging from art, urban agriculture, social justice, social entrepreneurs, education, technology and more. Each presenter has four minutes to share their idea and answer four questions from the audience. At the event, attendees eat, talk, share resources, enjoy art and vote on the project they think benefits the city the most. At the end of the night, we count the ballots and the winner goes home with all of the money raised to carry out their project. Winners come back to a future SOUP dinner to report their project’s progress.

We need your support!

MAPP is proud to be one of only two presenters tomorrow night, so we're hoping you'll join us and show your support for our artist led workshops in Palmer Park!

Lola's on the Avenue, 19150 Livernois, Detroit.

Our first workshop, Summer Solstice Eco-Dying, held 6/21 at Palmer Park.
