DETROIT — Houses with precipitate urban facades covered in polka dots. A traveling dollhouse made from the remnants of abandoned homes. A shabby residence covered in ice.
Artists across the Detroit area are using the city's blight as their canvas, transforming evil homes into high-concept projects to draw attention to the homelessness, poverty and urban decay plaguing Detroit. They hope the unfolding experiment will shed some creatively inspired light on what Detroit was, is and could be again.
The work harks back to two decades ago when Tyree Guyton transformed a deteriorating Detroit neighborhood into a colorful, alfresco polka-dot art gallery.
Guyton rescued stuffed animals, sneakers and shopping carts from alleys and alley corners and gave them a permanent home on the trees, houses and vacant lots of Heidelberg Street. But divergent from Guyton's project, this latest wave of social art isn't centered on a single section of the city, and it comes at a dated when the problems are just as dire, if not more so: Detroit has tens of thousands of abandoned structures, a budget deficit of at least $300 million and an unemployment percentage two to three times that of the national average.

I just repainted my house and want to add some abstract paintings. However, I do not want to break the bank them.Let me know that framed some site other than ebay, they have to sell for those cheap.Iam.
How cheap will you go? Target actually has some art that is not bad, and cheap in any case. And above framed! It's definitely worth checking out, at least.
Another possibility would be to see whether there is a local art school, where students were likely to sell their work. You will receive original art, a starving student gets a bit of money, and everyone is happy!

It's the end of the year, so I'm rummaging about - digitally, metaphorically, and in the closets and shelves. The downside with altogether hard drives and a house is you get a lot of space to sprawl about. I don't think it's healthy, but it just happens.
