Showing off
Birmingham Gallery, a contemporary art and frame gallery featuring a mix of sculptures,
paintings, and mixed media, will celebrate the grand opening with a reception from 6-11
p.m. this Saturday. The featured artist will be Plymouth resident Tony Roko. His use of
industrial materials that were once exclusive to the body of a car is the type of 're-use'
and re-positioning of materials and concepts is unique and has made him one of the
most sought-after artists in the country. Roko's work can be seen at the Motown
Museum, and he has been commissioned by Ford Motor Co. and Vitamin Water to cre-
ate original pieces. His work can also be viewed in the permanent collection through-
out the United States. Tony Roko's artwork will be on exhibit through July. The
Birmingham Gallery is located at 33772 Woodward Ave. in Birmingham.
