Design Center Gallery Presents "Five"

WARREN, Mich. - General Motors and the Design Center Gallery, located at the Technical Center, are proud to present "Five", featuring the work of approximately 40 Design Center artists.

"Five" represents a celebration of Design's fifth year as a permanent gallery within the Design Center studios. All participating artists challenged their creative inspiration by designing art pieces that measure 5 inches by 5 inches, in at least two dimensions.

The show offers an outlet for these highly prolific artisans - of various disciplines including sculptors, designers, skilled trades and administration - and allows them to show their work in a gallery setting to an audience of their peers and guests. Styles presented this year range from the traditional to the modern. Media types include cast bronze, ceramic, wood, cement, acrylic and watercolor paintings, digital images, fabric, glass, found objects and photography.

"The amount of skill, creativity, and talent at Design Center is truly amazing," says Karysa Naeve, Sculptor - Large/Mid-Size Truck Interiors and Design Center Gallery organizer. "We are happy to have a space in which to recognize and celebrate the artistic spirit of our artists and craftspeople."

"Five" runs March 15 - April 26, 2007, with an opening reception on Thursday, March 15 from 3 - 5 p.m. at the second floor gallery. The Design Center Gallery is located inside the Design Center Administration building at 30100 Mound Road, Warren, Mich. on the Technical Center Campus. The Design Center Gallery has been open to the public since January 2003, celebrating the talented artists and craftspeople of GM Design Center, along with other local and international artists.

Exhibits are free and open to the public by appointment only, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. through 5 p.m. by calling Karysa Naeve at (586) 986-7117. No appointment is necessary for the opening reception. Additionally, image capturing devices are not allowed.
