The City of Detroit unveiled 20 cleat sculptures that will be displayed across downtown Detroit ahead of the NFL draft.
The sculptures are part of a project called ‘DCLEATED.’
In football when you make a big impact hit it is called a “decleating”. This project is trying to do the same, using local artists to paint huge cleat sculptures and then auctioning them off after the draft to benefit charities selected by City Walls or the artists themselves.
The auction will go live the first week of April online and will conclude following the NFL Draft’s at an event celebrating the artists and their charities.
“Over the course of the past decade, Detroit has become known as more than the Motor City and Motown, we have become internationally known for our art scene,” said michaeleduggan . “The City Walls program has worked with talented Detroit artists to turn more than 200 walls across Detroit into beautiful works of art, and now it’s bringing murals on cleats to the streets of Downtown Detroit to celebrate the NFL Draft.” 📸: City of Detroit
