Darcel Deneau “New Neighbors” and Paul Farr’s “World Imagined” exhibition

Saturday, February 11th from 6pm-10pm for the reception of @deneaudarcel exhibition “New Neighbors” and Paul Farr’s exhibition “World Imagined”

Darcel Deneau has viewed Detroit as a source of inspiration for over 20 years. Using glass and objects she finds around the city, she builds images of Detroit that parallel its current growth, finding that there’s a striking similarity between the approach to her process and Detroit’s transformation.

Paul Farr (Publius Farrugia) was born on the “large” island of Malta on July 5th, 1928, and immigrated to the United States in 1954. He has been the proud husband of Jane Farr for 64 years, together they have four children. He served in the U.S. army and as soon as they realized his artistic talent, they asked him to paint a mural in their mess hall. He remembers really getting into drawing at age 12. He took his sketchpad around Malta and drew pictures of his sleeping family members, local stray cats, sunsets, trees, flowers, and friends. Since then, he hasn’t stopped. Paul will paint on anything from cardboard, rocks, lids, newspapers to styrofoam containers. He is the most organized artist you will meet, with binders full of his artwork separated by year.

Also, Culture Kids event on the third floor for children and their families. There will be food, art supplies, and games for all ages.
