The deadline is fast approaching for metro Detroiters to get their hands on the amazing sculptures in the DCLEATED art installation, the 20 large cleats painted by local Detroit artists!

The art, painted by some of Detroit’s best muralists, are being auctioned  online by Visit Detroit and the Detroit Sports Commission to benefit area charities.

“This project has been a great way to highlight the outstanding talent of our city’s artists,” said Harriet Carter, Vice President of Customer and Partner Services at Visit Detroit. “Visit Detroit and the Detroit Sports Commission are proud to support this initiative and help raise funds for important causes in our area.”

The online auction began on April 5 and will close at 11:30 p.m. Friday, May 3. Bidding starts at $2,500 per cleat, with the option to purchase your favorite cleat outright for $10,000.  Bidders also can donate online. All funds will be split evenly among the 20 charities.
