Detroit Knows Cars

Another project under the banner of Route One Media was the Detroit Knows Cars automobile fine art exhibits presented two consecutive years at downtown Detroit venues during the North American International Auto Show. We gathered art from a dozen fine artists for whom the automobile is a central theme and created a gallery-style exhibit, first in the Chase Tower Building and then in the lobby of the Compuware Building, both along Woodward Avenue. The exhibits were well received and stayed up for about a month each. Those familiar with automotive art will recognize the names of our artists: Tom Hale, Charles Maher, Jay Koka, David Chappel, Camilo Pardo, Buck Mook, Gerald Freeman, Alex Buchan, Jason Watson, James Haefner and Michael Goettner. My photographs were also featured in both exhibits.
