In September, Thinkspace Gallery curator and co-owner Andrew Hosner went out to Murals in the Market in Detroit, Michigan. Not only exploring the colorful artistic walls that are sprinkled across the city, Hosner crept into the abandoned buildings and factories that Detroit is trying to recover from.  Visit the Murals in the Market website for info on all murals and Hosner’s abandoned city tour after the video.
