Mixed media artist Michelle Sider will showcase more than 50 colorful mosaic art pieces in her biggest solo exhibition, titled “Seeking Light,” opening Wednesday, May 20 at the University of Michigan-Dearborn’s Stamelos Gallery Center. The show highlights her work in glass mosaics and mixed media, and was previewed on the WDIV program 'Live in the D.'
This exhibition matters because it brings attention to a local Metro Detroit artist and the mosaic medium, offering the community access to a substantial solo show at a university gallery. It underscores the role of regional art centers in supporting and presenting the work of living artists outside major metropolitan hubs.
