We honor Dennis Orlowski for his work as an artist and creator of historic murals throughout Detroit..
Mr. Orlowski’s works can be located across the Detroit area. He has painted nearly 100 murals. His works decorate indoor and outdoor venues such as churches parks, clubs, and public buildings.
Mr. Orlowski’s scope of work is being honored because as he states “Art should speak to the community as it did during the Renaissance”. His works help members of the Detroit community to better understand each other. His artistic message shows the kind of leadership encompassed in PGF’s Vision and Mission.
