Most people are aware of Detroit's rich automotive history. But few are aware that the automotive art created in Detroit is among the best in the world.

The Motor City Auto Art Mavens are a group of local pinstripers, sign painters and airbrush artists whose skills have been passed down from master to apprentice for decades. They combine the handcrafted traditions of the past with the technology of today to help preserve this important art form.
Each year the Mavens exhibit their skill and art at the Autorama Car Show in Detroit. Last year the group, which is 100% volunteer, donated all the proceeds from the sale of their art to Leader Dog. In 2009, they raised over $35,000 for Leader Dog programs.
This year's "Pinstripers Charity Panel Jam," again supporting Leader Dog, will be held at Detroit's Cobo Hall on February 26-28, 2010. Auto artists from across North America will travel to Detroit and join the Mavens in creating art in support of LDB.
Leader Dogs for the Blind would like to thank all the Motor City Auto Art Mavens for their continued support. To learn more about the organization, visit their website at motorcityautoart.com.
