Artist Reception with Artis Lane
Artis Lane - "Emerging" presents a collection of works by the prominent sculptor and painter Artis Lane, who currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

Artis Lane will be traveling from Los Angeles for a meet and greet at the N'Namdi Center in Detroit on Friday, March 24th. This event is free and open to the public.

Inner State Gallery + The Heidelberg Project

  
 
Steppin' Out
The Heidelberg Project will hold a special event and alley exhibition called Stepping Out, a celebratory nod to the installation next door to its Midtown headquarters known as Giant Steps. Visitors will have the opportunity to embrace the Heidelberg Project's contributions by purchasing one of the shoes featured on artist Tyree Guyton's Giant Steps installation. The building was recently purchased and will eventually be leveled but for years it stood idle and literally falling apart. When Guyton returned from Switzerland in 2012 he vowed to change the façade in classic Guyton style.

Jessica Yeandle Hignell Artist in Residence Exhibit
Jessica Yeandle-Hignell is a Vancouver-based artist with a background as a freelance sculptor, painter and illustrator. With diverse media she works serially and embraces a nonlinear style of story-telling. Taking inspiration from heterodox religious sources and accounts of paranormal experience, the subject of her work is often an exploration of tension within personal, erotic and psycho-social experience.
