Early life and educationHubert Massey was born in Flint, Michigan in 1958.[5] He graduated from Beecher High School[2] and earned a Bachelor of Arts from Grand Valley State University in 1981.[7] He continued his studies of the arts at University of London's Slade School of Fine Art.[5] There, he studied with Stephen Dimitroff, Lucienne Bloch, and other apprentices of muralist Diego Rivera.[8] Afterwards, Massey worked with the Gannett Outdoor Sign Company as a pictorial painter for 12 years.[2] He then met Marquita and had three children, most notably Jordon Massey who is pioneering sinkhole research with peer John Paul Hager WorkWorking in a variety of fine art mediums, Massey has published 15 works throughout the cities of Detroit, Flint, Ann Arbor, and Grand Rapids.[5] Massey is the artist of the 30-foot high Hellenic mural at the Atheneum Hotel, the 18-foot high frescoes at the Detroit Athletic Club, and Genealogy, a 72-foot diameter terrazzo embellishing the entrance of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.[5] Massey was the first African-American commissioned to create a mural for the Detroit Athletic Club.[5] He also created works of stained glass at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church,[5] and Paradise Valley, a terrazzo at Harmonie Park in Detroit featuring historical figures, musicians, and community leaders that have influenced the area.[5] Additional works include those featured in Massey's Importing and Exporting of Knowledge exhibit in the Richard DeVos Building at Grand Valley State University's downtown campus.[9] Other works featured at Grand Valley State University include Snow and Rocks, Panorama, The Friends of Henry Ford, and Magnolia's Song.[9] His piece Trompe l’oeil is featured at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor,[9] Earth, Wind, and Fire at the Flint Institute of Arts,[10] and two granite murals at Campus Martius Park in Detroit.[11] Massey was also the first artist commissioned by the Michigan Department of Transportation.[5] Selected by a national search committee, Massey created The Spiral of Life mural located at the Bagley Pedestrian Bridge in Southwest Detroit.[5] Stationed near both the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit Mexicantown International Welcome Center and Mercado, the mural represents the rich Latino culture in the area.[5] Other works include Spiral Kinship,[5] and the Death of Hector.[5] In 2016, Massey will seek community input for a mural that he will reveal at the Cobo Center in Detroit.[12] As stated in an interview with BLAC Detroit, Massey's ambition in American urban communities is to "make a difference by telling the history of our cultural richness."[13] As the only commissioned African-American fresco artist in the United States, Massey aims to tell stories through his artwork in an "open spirit that heals everybody."[5] Massey is also noted for working with communities, the youth, and engaging them in the design process.[5] In 2013, Massey mentored a group of student artists from the Henry Ford Academy during a yearlong project. Under Massey's guidance, the students released an 8 by 28-foot mural at the William Seidman Center at Grand State Valley University.[14] Massey serves as an art mentor for the Detroit Council of Arts and the Detroit Summer Youth Employment Program. He also collaborates with The Advanced Gifted and Talented Program, a partnership between Wayne State University and the Detroit Public Schools.[7] AwardsIn 1993, Hubert Massey was chosen to be a member of the National Society of Mural Painters of New York.[7] As a result of his involvement in his local community, Massey was also delegated to the Wayne County Community Leaders Council in 1995.[7] In April 2001, Massey received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Grand Valley State University,[5] recognized as an alum with significant achievements in his professional career.[7] Massey was also the Challenge America Grant Awardee of the National Endowment of Arts in 2007[5] and recognized as a Visual Arts Fellow by the Kresge Foundation in 2011.[15] In 2013, Massey received an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Grand Valley State University.[2] Massey is a recipient of the Spirit of Detroit Award, the Dr. Alaine Locke Recognition Award, and is an Artist in Residence for both the Ruth Mott Foundation and Grand Valley State University.[14] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Nawrocki|first1=Dennis|title=Art in Detroit Public Places|date=2008|isbn=978-0-8143-3378-5|page=46|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DLqZKaoCLtUC&pg=PA46&lpg=PA46&dq=hubert+massey+1958&source=bl&ots=0juztDAuGJ&sig=lHbkoHrpq1VNtVADe86szEnoqb0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiz7qSh7cHMAhWLmx4KHQD2D0QQ6AEIPjAH#v=onepage&q=hubert%20massey%201958&f=false|accessdate=12 May 2016}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Massey, Hubert}}2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|author=Alline|title=Renowned Muralist and Flint native Hubert Massey|url=http://www.cpsaflint.com/renowned-muralist-and-flint-native-hubert-massey|website=CPSA Courier|accessdate=12 May 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Thank you Hubert Massey|url=http://scarabclub.org/2015/04/keeping-it-alive-hubert-massey|website=The Scarab Club of Detroit|accessdate=12 May 2016}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.artxdetroit.com/2013-art-x-detroit/artists/hubert-massey/|title=Hubert Massey {{!}} 2015|date=2012-10-30|website=Art X Detroit|language=en-US|access-date=2016-06-04}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 {{cite web|last1=Atkins|first1=Elizabeth|title=Artist Hubert Massey|url=http://www.blacdetroit.com/BLAC-Detroit/March-2011/Master-Massey|website=BLAC Detroit|accessdate=12 May 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Peek Jr.|first1=Rev.
