Hello all,
I'm writing today to tell you about the major changes that are going on at 5 Elements Gallery, Detroit's cherished venue for anything Hip Hop-related, and a major outlet for people seeking to become connected with Detroit's arts community in a broader sense. Sicari Ware and Piper Carter have been the proprietors of the Michigan Avenue location since 2008, and their motivation has always been to bring together the local community, while helping to develop a positive identity for Detroit artists.
Here is the press release for their "50 for 5E" which is going down May 15th at the Gallery, one of the last events to take place at the Michigan Avenue location, sponsored by emcee Invincible's Emergence Music. 5 E Gallery will continue to run, however, a new location is required. Someone has purchased the Michigan Ave. building, and the gallery's new spot needs a little sprucing up.
From Piper Carter: "Our event, $50 for 5 E, is only 2 weeks away! We sure could use help letting people know about it because while we have the venue & Detroit's Best Artists, we need supporters, & prospective bidders!
The event is the perfect occasion for Metro Detroit art lovers to come purchase a unique gift or collection item and support a worthwhile cause at the same time.
Another wonderfully amazing aspect to this event is that Phil Cooley (The owner of Slow's BBQ) has organized a community clean up on the same day from 9am-5pm. He has gathered 20 contractors to offer their services for free to help gut & clean & repair the new space."
The event features 50 Detroit Artists performing over 12 hours, and is a major fundraiser for the gallery's new venue.
Go to 5EGallery.org to learn more about how you can help out, and purchase tickets for an entire season of events happening at 5E.
