Art in Detroit!





Saturday night was truly eventful with an art opening, the first annual Arab festival of Hamtramck, and our first experience of a mid-west dive bar. Angela and Jason took us out on the town, stopping first at 2739 Edwin Gallery. A two-person photography and sculpture show and a reading of prose was set up in the beautiful space. Afterwards we caught the last act in Veteran's park of Hamtramck, witnessing the energetic act of "Prince of Dabka" and a lot of dancing by the the young Arab community. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming - even in the crusty dive bar down on Joseph Campau.
