When we're bustling through the Auto Show, circumventing the grounds during Movement on Memorial Day, or attending a work-centric convention, we're too caught up in the event to stop and consider the art in and around the COBO Convention Center.
COBO has a serious yet often unrecognized history of collecting and commissioning art. But they have a plan to engage the city through artful enterprises in the near future. Maureen Devine is leading the way as the new art curator at COBO. She's working to create a nonprofit entity for a program that will allow Detroit and southern Ontario artists to produce and display large scale work.
