Painter and sculptural artist, Donald Calloway, has been essential in the Detroit arts community for more than thirty years. Calloway recognized his passion for the arts at the tender age of three and has been solely dedicated to his artistic endeavors ever since. He honed the technical aspects of the arts at the Center for Creative Studies (CCS), then continued his practice at the Greektown Lofts, where his studio famously remained until 2023. Calloway’s meticulous constructions, intentional brush strokes, and bold use of colors has resulted in a signature style that is known and beloved throughout the city and beyond. 3134334882
