Michelle and Leo D’Cruz opened the doors to their second-floor studio in April to reveal a brand-new contemporary art space downtown. After hauling 1,300 pounds of art from France to West Court Street, the final step was to fix a plaque to the entrance that boasts their logo in red and gray translucent letters: Reverb Art + Design.
“We’re really excited to finally bring folks in and start doing what we’ve been planning to do. I think we found the perfect artist to kick things off,” says Michelle, who is also Reverb’s creative director and curator. The artist is Detroit-based metalsmith Tiff Massey, whose wearable sculptures and geometric jewelry challenge the viewer/wearer to contemplate class and race. Her exhibit, Untethered, opened along with the gallery last month. Read more about the gallery and exhibit here.
Untethered runs through July at Reverb Art + Design. Find more info at facebook.com/reverbartdesign.
