This week, check out the fabulous Faina Lerman as she takes the center stage on the brewery’s one night showcase.

Last week saw Brad and Vaughn Taormina in the spotlight, for a really different Wednesday night approach. They transformed the makeshift gallery space into a fanciful, raw scene, with mountainous backdrop of torn cardboard, simple tree forms, and a comical, gangster meeting in the woods. It was different, and it worked. Sorry, I don’t have images, for those of you who missed it.

And one more thing from curator extraordinaire Graem Whyte: Jan 3rd marks the two-year anniversary of twia, and we will be having a group show to celebrate, with an open
call for submissions due to space, no piece can be larger than 4" x 4" x 4", and only one piece per artist. drop off will be anytime during open hours the week prior to jan 3
(include title & price info). feel free to contact me with any questions.

Week in and week out, Wednesday nights have proven to be educational and a valuable experience. For artists this has meant a chance to try out work in mini-shows and given up and comers a shot to be seen. Perhaps just as importantly the atmosphere has been such as to provoke conversations on art and more that have gone on long past closing time. So come check it out, sample (in moderation!) what the owner John Linardos and the good folks at Motor City brew up each day (an undeniable artistry in its own right) and enjoy yourselves. We’ll see you there. – Nick Sousanis
