Title
Function+Art - Specializing in Fine Craft + Studio Furniture + Fine Art
Description
Function + Art is the second attempt at realizing the vision of its founder, D. Scott Patria. That’s me. In 1992, I attended an opening for students of Detroit’s Center for Creative Studies (now College of...); it proved to be a life-changing experience. There before me, a disillusioned engineering graduate was the perfect blend of form & function… of aesthetics and ergonomics…
I thought it was the coolest stuff on the planet, and deserved to be seen. That the public needed to KNOW about this stuff – that they had options. That you could incorporate art into your daily environment in a way beyond traditional paintings and sculpture. That you could in fact, USE your sculpture!
The first effort, Gallery: FunctionArt, began in 1993 in the heart of downtown Pontiac, MI along “Gallery Row", and quickly become recognized as one of the nation’s leading galleries specializing in Studio Furniture and fine Decorative Craft. We showed student work, established artists, emerging artists… and even the work of folks who refused to be called artists. We carried glass, and jewelry, a little turned wood, gifts, even paintings... but always featured this fantastic, useable sculptural stuff I later learned was called Studio Furniture.
