Display your student work in the
Arts & Scraps Ford Gallery

  Thanks to the Ford MODEL Teams volunteers and Ford Motor Company funding,
  our classroom is now a professional art gallery, with lighting and hanging systems! 
  We are seeking partners that would like to display student work and make them
  feel really special.  We will coproduce a community art opening, complete with
  hands on projects that draw inspiration from the works on the walls.  We can nicely
  display between 20 and 40 pieces, depending on the size.  All our student field trips
  will also use the pieces as inspiration to create their ideas.
   We do not carry insurance for the art work, but will do our best to make sure they
  are not touched.
   Please call Peg at 313-640-4411 x 8 or email her to participate.
