Arts, Beats & Eats: Moving on Up (or Down)

This Labor Day weekend, the new and improved Arts, Beats & Eats extravaganza moves to Royal Oak from its 10-year home in Pontiac, Michigan. The new venue still features big name music acts, 55 food vendors, and a small, select group of national artists tucked away at the end of Washington Avenue, near Lincoln. This is one of the best shows in Michigan. The music is top-notch, the food is delicious (for street food), and the art is absolutely spectacular.

I’ll be there, showing my quiet Western landscapes. Find me in Booth 56, on Washington, near Lincoln Ave. Here’s a taste of what I’m showing. These images are from my springtime shoots in southern Arizona and New Mexico.

  1. I love the watering hole photo. Lot of emotion going on. Gloomy, but surreal.
