Yet - Sidewalk Art Collection

In the 1980's Maurice Greenia, Jr. started drawing all over Detroit streets. These works were done with good quality chalk. He continued this work through the 1990's and into the 2000's.

This led to some art in chalk on underpass walls and on the Hudson's Building in downtown Detroit. He documented much of this work though photography.
