*Robert Bielat (1949-2018) was a Detroit sculptor and Professor at Schoolcraft College who participated in the first Actual Size show in 1999 and continued to participate for almost 20 years. He and his wife Veronica purchased the work of many artists participating in the show throughout the years. They were always the first to be at the gallery doors the night of every opening. Bielat studied sculpture with the curator’s father Hugh Timlin (1945-2009) at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts, now College for Creative Studies. The work of both Bielat and Timlin will be on exhibit in the 2019 Actual Size Biennial.

Closing reception hosted by the Chalfonte Foundation and detroit contemporary on January 18, 2020 from 4PM to 11PM at the Detroit Culture Club.
