Real American Exhibition, Ann Arbor Art Center, July 1–August 13, 2016
Jim Rehlin was honored that his Fireworks Finale Cityscape acrylic-on-canvas 34"x30" painting was one of the 40 creations selected from over 300 submissions for the juried Real American Exhibition, curated and hosted by the Ann Arbor Art Center.

Pop-Up Exhibition, Detroit’s 314th Birthday Party, July 25, 2015
The party's over… and the City of Detroit’s 314th birthday celebration is now a part of history. Jim Rehlin was pleased to receive an invitation to help commemorate this juried event, which was curated by Corktown Studios and hosted by DDHS. Each of the 30 invitees was commissioned to create a visual interpretation of a historic work of fiction that represents Detroit’s French heritage.
Jim’s contribution, The Race, was a 24"x24" framed acrylic-on-canvas painting that was based on the epic poem, “A Legend of L’anse Creuse,” from the 1884 book titled Legends of le Détroit. All of the newly created artwork, by a select group of local artists including Jim, was presented in a Pop-Up exhibition at the Jam Handy in downtown Detroit. Jim's is pleased that his original painting SOLD to an exhibition attendee, and thank you to the buyer.
