Scarab Club - Michigan Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Historical Date: 01/01/1907 Historical Name: Scarab Club Description: Founded in 1907, the Scarab Club is one of Michigan's oldest arts organizations. Originally called the Hopkins Club after Detroit marine painter Robert Hopkins, it was renamed in 1913. The scarab, an Egyptian symbol of rebirth, represents the clubs commitment to the perpetual renewal of the arts in Detroit. Lancelot Sukert of Detroit designed the clubhouse, which opened on October 5, 1928. The exterior exhibits a Northern Renaissance Revival influence and features the club logo in Pewabic tile. The interior which houses studios, galleries and classrooms, reflects the Arts and Crafts style. The lounge ceiling beams bear autographs of prominent artists including John Sloan, Diego Rivera, Marcell Duchamp and Norman Rockwell.
