As a community activist and artist in Detroit who focuses on neighborhood empowerment, Nicole Macdonald makes large scale public paintings featuring city luminaries past and present on reclaimed materials. The Detroit Music Legend portraits are 6 x 8 foot, the size of the windows where they will be installed in late 2018 on the Detroit Savings Bank Building, designed by Albert Kahn at 6438 Woodward Avenue. A muralist, collagist, painter and tagger, Macdonald co-founded City Sculpture, a nonprofit Detroit art park, is a board member of Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit, and has exhibited at the Detroit Institute of Arts and Casco Gallery, Netherlands.
