EMERGENCE

Detroit artist Wesley Taylor in collaboration with hip hop activist Invincible is one of nine winners in ArtServe’s Michigan’s new Community Supported Arts program supporting local talent. Winners will receive a $1,000 stipend to produce 50 pieces of art to be sold in shares this spring. 

Taylor is a graphic designer, fine artist, musician and curator. He has spent many years “scene building” in the Detroit hip hop community by participating as both an emcee and graphic designer. He is co-founder of Emergence Media with Invincible. 

For the Community Supported Art Program, Wesley is contributing ornate, battery-powered music boxes featuring a series of LED generated rotating light and shadow scenes relating to the lyrics of original song, “Apple Orchards,” written and performed by Invincible.
