Call for Contributors: Portraits of Home
April 1, 2026As part of expanding my ongoing series of acrylic ink drawings, Portraits of Home, I’m seeking contributions from past and present residents of the cities of Detroit and Highland Park, Michigan, to enable me to document their homes through collaboration and exchange.
Whitney is looking for participation from past and present residents of Detroit and Highland Park to add their past or present homes to the project and to potentially add their personal/communal histories to a new oral history component in development. Participants who contribute an address to the project will receive a signed, editioned giclee art print of the finished work.
There are two ways you can get involved in the project:
- Fill out this Google questionnaire form with some information about you or a past/present home you have a connection to.
- Meet the artist in person at Popp’s Packing during any of the following open studio hours (dates/times are listed below)
OPEN STUDIO HOURS WITH WHITNEY:
Dates: April 16, April 21-23 from 12–5 pm
Location: Popps Packing, 12138 Saint Aubin St., Hamtramck, MI
