'Fender Bender' Art Show Celebrates 150th Birthday of Henry Ford

The Dearborn Community Arts Council is hosting a public gathering on June 26 from 6-8 p.m. at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center to showcase the Fender Bender artwork created using car fenders.

Seventeen craftsmen ranging from amateur to professional have taken this concept and have designed unique artistic creations.

This will be the only time that all of these finished sculptures will be in one location for viewing before being displayed throughout Dearborn and southeastern Michigan.

A map of the sculptures and the schedule they will be at each location is available at www.dcacarts.org

Tickets for the June 26 event are $5 per person and include all-you-can-eat hot dogs and one beverage. The ticket price is reflective of the landmark $5 a day wage Henry Ford paid his workforce.

This gathering is a part of a series of events throughout the year that are celebrating the 150th birthday of Henry Ford.

The city of Dearborn, Ford Motor Company, Dearborn Federal Savings Bank, Dearborn Sausage Co. and the MotorCities National Heritage Area are sponsoring the event.
