We all know that Detroit is famous for its cars, its musical stars, and its world-champion basketball and hockey teams. But did you know that Detroit is also quickly making a name for itself in the art world? Surprised?

At a mere $35 each, this is a great opportunity to support the city's art movement, and enjoy a festive party at the same time. For more information, please visit
