Please join us for an art-filled night of light hors d’oeuvres and libations in the vibrant and brilliant Umoja Showroom benefiting the 9 Mile Corridor Project.

The 9 Mile Corridor Project aims to revitalize the corridor from Hazel Park to Farmington Hills, by linking the Dequindre Cut Pathway to the trail that runs along I-275, creating an identity for common spaces that includes pathways, signage, benches, bike repair stations, public art and more. Southfield is currently working on the area which stretches from Greenfield to Lahser Road.

Umoja is hosting this event for The Friends of Southfield Public Arts to include the community in this effort and to raise funding for public artwork to be installed along the corridor.

Representatives from Friends of the Southfield Public Arts, along with Southfield Mayor Ken Siver, will be in attendance to share more information about the 9 Mile Corridor Project in Southfield and answer any questions that may arise.

Ticket Pricing: Tax-deducible donations may be made for $50, $75 and $100.

So, here's the deal, folks. Let me introduce you to a little masterpiece called Marleys’ Contemplations. Now, if you ever happen to visit Umoja fine arts gallery, keep your eyes peeled for this gem. Picture this: a captivating portrait of the legendary Bob Marley, brought to life using the wondrous medium of acrylic. Now, let me tell you, folks, inspiration played a key role in the creation of this beauty. You see, after a whirlwind trip to Jamaica, where the beats of reggae danced in my ears and the spirit of Bob Marley surrounded me, there was no way I could resist immortalizing him on canvas. So, ladies and gentlemen, sit back, relax, and let this painting transport you to the heart of reggae rhythms and the undeniable aura of the one and only Bob Marley.

One Love!
