The Belmont in Hamtramck is truely one of the great hives of Detroit culture that never ceases to have a pulse. Every night of the week one can be sure to find the unique quality that keeps you feeling good about being "caught in a trap" that you can't walk out of.
Every month the Belmont hosts the EXHIBITIONIST showcase opening on the last Wednesday night. April finds Nina Friday, a somewhat regular contributor to the series, up with a new grouping of works. These paintings on various board evoke the finest traditions of Eastern Eroupean icon painting twisted through the early 1900's and warped into contemporary vision.
Several of these could have made their way to my home gallery but the Detroit economy is currently so bad that i must just sit back and enjoy the moment and be glad I own atleast one original of her works.
Stop by the Belmont for a good time.
Make an opening and partake of art food and the always generous and tasteful opening reception spread they supply straight from the unbeatable Hamtramck cuisine.
