Flint Trading Co. in Downtown Flint is featuring the fascinating and complex work of award-winning and nationally recognized sculptor Mark Beltchenko at Friday’s ARTWALK.

Meticulous in detail and dialogue, his work serves as a meditation on our current lives and political hypocrisies. If you do not immediately recognize the discourse, that’s okay, just allow yourself to linger a while. Beltchenko is a quiet man who’s work tells the stories on his behalf.
