Eight pianos are coming to Depot Town and Downtown Ypsilanti. They will be placed on the sidewalks during the day for anyone to play and taken in at nights. There will be one in front of the Nelson Amos Studio which anyone can take a brush to and paint. Painting materials will be provided.

Pictures and videos will be uploaded on Facebook and youtube with everyone's permission.

The pianos are being provided by Steinway Piano Gallery of Detroit. Transportation is being funded by the Depot Town Association. The Nelson Amos Studio is coordinating the entire project.

Stay tuned for the exact locations of all the pianos... This will be a lot of fun for the young and old and everyone in between!

This winter scene of the Farmer's Market will be used as the image for our second annual Christmas card. The cards will be available individually or in boxed sets of eight. These sets are available either in blank format or imprinted on the inside with "Merry Christmas from Ypsilanti."

Prints, magnets, calendars and puzzles of this image are also available at the Studio.

2010 Calendars featuring Nelson's paintings are now in stock in the Studio. Most of the popular images are in print; we can also custom make other images of your choice.

We will stay open late on Thursday and Friday nights till 8 p.m. We hope this will help our customers to stop by after work.

An 8 x 10, 48 piece puzzle with one of Nelson's paintings makes a great gift or a treat for yourself during these long, cold winter months! They are packaged in a box with the image of the puzzle on it. Come by and check them out.

Boxed cards of the "Snowy Tower" painting were a success. This was the first of a series of annual Christmas cards.

Bridal Registry is available for those who wish to decorate their new homes with local prints and still life. Prints vary in price according to size. We also offer custom framing.

This is graduation time, whether it's high school or college, every graduate has a diploma. Instead of postponing your framing (which means it may take years before you get around to it), bring your diploma and we'll help you select the best mat and frame at an affordable price.
