Last week in art saw the non-sculptural works of Chris Turner. Turner produced some edgy, stencil, spray paintings, combining portraiture, symbolism, and language to make social and political statements. His silhouetted soldiers marching, phalluses erect, guns in hand were pretty powerful, simple moments.

This week in art, look for Rico Africa and his variety of mixed media work, as well as DJing, and overall celebratory atmosphere on this day before thanksgiving.

And next week, Christian Tedeschi closes out the month on the 30th with…. Well, we’ll just have to wait and see!

Wednesday nights have been an education and an interesting experiment, letting artists try out works in mini-shows and provoking conversation long past closing time. Come check it out, sample (in moderation!) what the good folks at Motor City brew up each day and enjoy yourselves. – Nick Sousanis
