Happy New Year

Thanks to all of our friends for making 2010 a resounding success at Laurel Park Place and our new store at Twelve Oaks.  Your enthusiastic patronage supports our local and state economies, and is sincerely appreciated by the more than six dozen local artists who display their unique work in our stores.

Best wishes for a safe, prosperous, and happy new year!

Deb & Bill LaPratt and all of the Art-is-in Market Artists

Meet the authors of three new books

Authors will sign their books at Art-is-in Market 
Laurel Park Place and Twelve Oaks mall stores

Paul H. Adams' book, Watercolor Memories takes you through his life as a painter from childhood to professional advertising illustrator to watercolor artist in retirement. The book is wonderfully illustrated with his early childhood work, examples of his meticulous commercial work, and concludes with a retrospect of both railroading and the city of Detroit from the 1940s into the 1970s. It's a delightful cruise down memory lane.

Charles Avison's Detroit: City of Champions documents 1935, the most remarkable year in Detroit sports history when the Detroit Tigers, Lions, and Red Wings all won their very first championships that season.

Linda K. McLean provides and in-depth look at Tyree Guyton's decades-long art project in her photographic and poetic The Heidelberg Project, A Street of Dreams .

These three authors will be at both the Laurel Park Place and Twelve Oaks stores to sign their books and meet you.

Twelve Oaks Store to open soon

Everyone has been working furiously to get things in order for the opening of our new store at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, Michigan.

One of the first tasks accomplished was to exorcise the place of its hideous colors and graffitti:

 Photographer Jim Ritchie chips away glass beads ...

 ... and eradicates graffitti ...

 Voila!  Fresh new paint...

...to showcase fabulous new art.

Come back tomorrow for an update on our progress. The renovation is nearly complete, and the doors of our brand new, 6,000 square foot Art-is-in Market North  will be open sooner than you think!

Watch for it on the 2nd level of the Macy's concourse next to Ann Taylor.

2010's First Featured Artist

Susan Skibicki

My two passions are nature and art and I am happiest when I can combine my passions and share them. Wild animals are my favorite models. The animal's personality is what I want to capture. My animal photographs and paintings make you feel as if you are stepping into the animal's world and perhaps sharing a special moment together.

I also enjoy painting and photographing flowers, trees, sunrises and butterflies. More examples of my work may be viewed at Art-is-in Market and on my website:
