When the 20 year old Arts League of Michigan (ALM) moved into its new home in July of 2009, it was a victory after a 4-year effort. The ALM no longer had to hold arts activities in scattered Metro Detroit venues-it had its own. The new home is a 19th century building formerly known as the Harmonie Club, in what is now, Paradise Valley. It was re-named the Virgil H. Carr Cultural Arts Center. The public was welcomed to a fall gala. By that time, the ALM programs were up and running. At the heart of ALM are the arts classes for youngsters ages 7 to 18 in creative writing, dance, theater, photography and especially jazz and visual arts. They have been identifiers of the ALM community-focused arts mission since 1991. That recently expanded with the addition of arts classes for adults. To date, add a succession of art exhibitions, celebrity concerts and master classes, art fairs, artists who use free space in which to create, literary and musical entertainment in Beatrice Buck Park, the new gift shop, plus rentals by the public for private affairs ranging from baby showers to fashion shows to corporate parties, seminars/workshops, weddings and more, and you have the active, stimulating, community-friendly center of arts and culture that the Carr Center is today.

Many beautiful Terra Cotta pieces from the Riveara Theater. traverntine from the Detroit Collage of Law. as well as many more gone but not forgotten historic landmark buildings that have been torn down in Detroit over the last 25 years. Tim has turned some of these pieces into functional as well as surreal pieces of art . From a bench in the new Downtown Y.M.C.A. to tables and chairs that were being sold in the gift shop of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Tim's work has been shown locally as well as internationally. Tim has many public art installation to his credit, most recently the installation of his four whimsical robot looking creatures in the children's section of compuwares Lafayette Garden, Dowtown Detroit.

Tim's work is for sale at the Detroit Institute of Arts Gift Shop, the Grosse point Art Center, Rivers edge Gallery and at his studio gallery, Detroit Industrial Gallery On Heidelberg street.Tim has lectured and demonstrated making sculpture at Wayne County Community Collage as well as Wayne State University. The series of robot creatures that Tim Has made for the Art Prize installation at Fountain Street Church, include F-18 fighter Jet Parts, as well as gears that would have been used on the robotic arm of the Space Station. Talk about turning Swords into plowshares! what better way to make art that can speak of creating food for the soul,by using gears that would have went to make war machinery. the whimsical nature of these creatures override their seaming ability to destroy. The Krazy Kat sculpture are to give the installation a playful feel against the seriousness of the political signage. Tim uses pieces of a broken down City as a metaphor for his own life upheaval, and the rebuilding of his life through art. my work is at times whimsical and at others surreal, as well as functional.
