THE BLACK-TIE Motu Viget Spirits & Ty Mopkins: Center of Attraction Gala at the MOCAD Café brought together community entrepreneurs, creatives, activists, and other “doers” for a celebration and networking event that raised funds for The Jalen Rose Leadership Academy of Detroit and the Universal Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx, New York. Guests were treated to “Golden Age” hip-hop and R&B music spun by DJ Steady Rock, a world-class arts exhibition curated by MOCAD, complimentary Motu Viget spirits, and a strolling dinner.
