Hubert Massey mural COURTESY IMAGE[/caption]
Working in largest scale — in fresco and mosaic like Michelangelo — Hubert Massey projected his polychrome vision of Detroit and its people onto locations across the city and region.
In 2011, Massey was awarded a prestigious Kresge Fine Arts Fellowship and more recently a honorary doctorate of Fine Arts from Grand Valley State University.
On May 31, Massey himself will guide a bus tour through the city showcasing his work and telling the stories of the people and experiences captured in each.
The tour, which lasts from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., will visit over 10 sites including the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, Campus Martius and the Federal Reserve Bank with a stop in Mexican Town for lunch. The cost of the tour $65.00 with lunch included, or $50 for people who bring their own.
