MAN IN THE CITY Sculpture Project 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.

NSO MAN IN THE CITY EXPERIENCE The NSO MAN IN THE CITY EXPERIENCE (MICX) is a celebration of art and service creating an art

experience and fundraising event to benefit the programs and services of NSO. 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 made within our community will be displayed at the MICX

where they will be available for purchase during the event’s silent auction. All auction proceeds will

benefit the programs and services of NSO.

The MICX will take place at the Detroit Golf Club located in Detroit on Thursday, May 16, 2019,
