FROM THE EDITOR

On the cover of our Spring 2017 issue, we featured a photo by Theodore Schinkel of the newly purchased Moross House set against the backdrop of downtown Detroit. Here we are eight years later and the long, laborious task of restoration, renovation and installation is complete. 

Last October, Schinkel Fine Art celebrated its grand opening of the new gallery space and Detroit Secret Garden at Moross House. There is much I could not fit in the feature starting on page 13 that I will share here. 

The Schinkels are deeply passionate about the Rivertown community. Linda herself was born a stone's throw from the Moross House that now houses her and son Teddy's art gallery. One of their main goals in the year ahead is to open their doors to more educational and community events, collaborating with local organizations and businesses. If you are interested in working with the innovative duo, call (313) 924-1561. Their open hours, which through the end of March are 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and by appointment, may change for the warmer months and will be available at schinkelfineart.com.

One of the best ways to support the new gallery is in attending its first-ever fundraiser for its non-profit arm, Conceptions Connect. The event will take place Thursday, May 1. May Day seems a fitting day for the event, as much of Schinkel Fine Art is about growth and expanding of the mind. 

"We bring all of our feelings and art together to bring vibrant energy to people's potential. Each piece is about a different kind of connection," says Linda. "We take inspiration from shapes, from nature to city." And, in particular, the shapes of Detroit.

The Detroit Secret Garden behind the Moross House will be teeming with spring growth for the May event. And several indoor and outdoor installations will be on display for interactive viewing. 

I hope to see you there!
