Hubert Massey

Painter, muralist, sculptor, Kresge Fellow in the Visual Arts 2011. In 2010, the Michigan Department of Transportation commissioned him for a mural near the Bagley Pedestrian Bridge. In 2018, he started working on a fresco at Cobo Center (now TCF Center) in downtown Detroit, which may in time be part of an even larger project there. No relation to Tiff Massey.

There is a page about Hubert Massey on an infamous online encyclopedia that has slandered John Seigenthaler and many others, but since I can't vouch for the veracity of the information presented there at any given time, I will not provide a link.
