Tuned to Tradition Unveiling: Art, Music & Poetry

Michael Mullen of Grosse Ile is a fine artist specializing in relief prints. His work is created using his refurbished 1891 Chandler & Price letterpress.

Michael Mullen will unveil his Tuned to Tradition collection, a series of limited edition relief prints celebrating traditional music at Gallery on the Boulevard. Prints represent four musical instruments: guitar, banjo, fiddle and mandolin. Each print is individually created on an 1891 letterpress, numbered and signed. A limited quantity of 100 of each print has been created.

Each print will be unveiled with the help of a complementing poem by Dr. Jeff London of Farmington Hills and musical performance by the subject instrument.
