Experiencing PerspectivesTuesday, April 24, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. If a picture can express 1,000 words, then we have a night of stimulating dialogue for you. At Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, we believe that art plays a critical role in creating a dynamic work environment, an inquisitive culture and sparks creativity. While our workplace might not be a gallery, it does house cutting-edge art from local artists and graduate students from Cranbrook Academy of Art. To explore the art and the question of what role art can play in being a catalyst for change and inspiration, we invite you to join us for an evening celebrating the arts. Art tours will challenge your perspectives, live performances will leave you breathless and the serendipitous discussions with artists and guests are sure to be memorable. Please join us at 6:00 p.m. for appetizers and drinks as we experience perspectives from various cultural platforms. RSVP by April 10, 2012 at http://mbfs-art.com/farmington-hills-mi-register/

COLLEGE HUNKS HAULING JUNK HOSTING ART SUPPLY DRIVE TO BENEFIT ART ROADArt Supply donations being accepted on behalf of Art Road on Thursday, April 5 at the corner of Gratiot and Brush in Detroit For the second year in a row College Hunks Hauling Junk will be hosting an Art Supply Drive and Tiger's Tailgate on Tiger's Opening Day, April 5th, to benefit Art Road Nonprofit. The nonprofit organization is bringing art class back to schools that lack art in their curriculum throughout Southeastern Michigan. Trucks will be parked at the corner of Gratiot and Brush in Detroit from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will be accepting all art supply donations. Art Road and College Hunks Hauling Junk encourages Tigers Fans to drop off art supplies and help us fill entire truck. "I am so excited to be able to help collect and deliver school supplies for Art Road Non Profit," said Dan Ryan, owner of College Hunks Hauling Junk. "I believe every child should have art in their life. Owning a business allows one to bring awareness to worthwhile charities, and we at College Hunks Hauling Junk are thrilled to be associated with a great group like Art Road Non Profit." "Thanks to Dan Ryan and College Hunks Hauling Junk for filling an entire truck with art supplies last year!" said Carol Hofgartner, founder of Art Road Nonprofit. "Children's scissors, construction paper and glue sticks were just a few of the great items we collected last year. With their support and the support of business owners like Dan, we can continue to bring art class back to schools."

Mustang Sally:A $10,000 donation to Art Road will allow us to bring art class to 40 students for the entire school year. Contact us if you want to know more about adopting Mustang Sally. Created on March 26, 2010 by 125 Art Road students and fourteen volunteers, the giant art dog was inspired by lovable thirteen-inch-tall "art dogs" created by students in our classrooms. The students were all in awe of the large art dog and had great comments: one student told Mr. Stephen she wanted to take Mustang Sally home with her. He asked her how she was going to take it home. She said she was going to have her grandmother come and carry the art dog home for her. Several art students asked if the dog was filled with candy - what a great idea!! One student asked if we could make a bigger art dog. On May 21, 2010, 125 Art Road students and 40 Mercedes-Benz Financial Services employees will be claying five more large art dogs. The art dogs will be named by the students and volunteers and then go on tour to raise awareness that Art Road Nonprofit is the only organization in Michigan bringing art class back to schools. Art Road Nonprofit's mission is for all children throughout Southeastern Michigan to have access to art instruction. Art Road accomplishes its mission entirely through private and corporate donations. To donate to Art Road Nonprofit please call 734/536-6256 or donate on line.
