NSO Man in the City Experience - Thursday, May 16, 2019 - Detroit Golf Club
2018 Man in the City sculptures: Motown Magic by Jessica Tidwell and Smile by Phillip Simpson.
The NSO MAN IN THE CITY EXPERIENCE (MICX) is an art inspired fundraising event to benefit the programs and services of NSO. The MICX is centered around the representation of the “man in the city” created by artist John Sauve for his Man in the City Sculpture Project. The "Man" with his fedora can be found dotting the rooftop landscape of some of Detroit’s most iconic buildings. Using a wood cut-out of the Man In The City, local and nationally renowned artists, celebrities, community leaders and NSO consumers will create their vision of The Man In The City using design materials of their choice.
These one-of-a-kind creative expressions will be displayed at the publically and at the MICX where many will be available for purchase through a silent auction. All auction proceeds will benefit the programs and services of NSO. This high energy event will include music, interactive art, hors d’oeuvres and more.
The MICX will take place at the Detroit Golf Club in Detroit on Thursday, May 16, 2019 from 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. (VIP Reception 6 p.m. - 7 p.m.). Sponsorship packages, VIP Ticket Tickets and General Admission Tickets are available for the event.
Don't miss this unforgettable evening of art and philanthropy!

John Sauve
The Man in the City Sculpture Project is comprised of more than 30 sculptures currently located on the rooftops throughout the city of Detroit. The project is as much about the sculptures as it is about the people and locations involved in the project. Each sculpture was installed in a location based on the architecture of the building, the building’s significance in the city of Detroit and the relationship to other sculpture locations in the project.
John Sauve has been called the Man In The City. He is at heart an artist; a sculptor, a non-profit leader of his own Sauvé Art Foundation, a community activist and teacher to inner-city children through his art programs. His sculptural work was recently shown at the Chicago Sculpture International Outdoor Exhibition in 2012, which included 55 large-scale outdoor sculptures from around the world, and was again shown at the Krasl Art Center Biennial Sculpture Invitational in 2012 in St. Joseph, MI. Sauve’s most interesting work is an on-going sculpture project - Man In The City - which has been turning heads throughout downtown Detroit.
