Holes in the Wall: A visual celebration of iconic diners and restaurants in metro Detroit

Over a period of several months in 2018, five Detroit-area photographers ventured out into the world of some of our most iconic “Holes in the Wall” diners and restaurants to capture their essence in photographs. A term of affection, "Holes in the Wall" references those special destinations where hot food is served in a more personal, non-corporate atmosphere, where the conversations are casual and friendly - and sometimes passionate; where friendships are made and endure, and sometimes fade. We’ve all had our favorites - perhaps too many to mention - and certainly too many to adequately represent in a single art exhibit. However, some 40 images covering eight different establishments have been produced and will be on display at the Village Theater in Canton this February, along with interpretations of several of those images by a group of talented Detroit-area artists in paintings and ceramics.
