of Design Detroit (MM-O-DD) Founder
Leslie Ann Pilling contacted Wineman to
come back to his hometown roots for a solo
exhibition he calls Neuroplasticty+.
The month-long exhibition opened on
Saturday, Feb. 4, with an artist reception with
Wineman. The last week of the exhibition,
which runs through March 4, will have an
artist-in-the-round session with Wineman
and live painting.
Wineman has partnered up with lifelong
friends and former Cranbrook football
cronies, Born and Raised Detroit Executive
Director Parker Lynch and Vice President
George Bibbs, to give back proceeds from
the exhibition to BRAINWORXX, a pillar
program of MM-O-DD that reveals the
effects that art, nature and design have on
mental health.
Born and Raised Detroit Foundation is
an all-volunteer nonprofit that supports
initiatives that contribute to building a
stronger community and positive way of life
for Detroit youth.
“I paint for my mental health and others.
There is no point to do any of this without
paying it forward,
” Wineman adds. “I think
I’m finally happy — at least a little more
balanced and much more productive in
society to where I feel like I am complete.
My wife and almost-2-year-old little man are
both proud of me.
“I changed everything by simply wanting
to be better for myself and everyone around
me. Life is good.
”
