By Michael E. Crane, Christine Renner, Patricia Reed, published 2006. Quote
from Google Books: "On the cusp of its centennial anniversary, the
Scarab Club (founded in 1907) weaves itself into the city of Detroit's
and the state of Michigan's artistic cultural heritage. From its humble
beginning as the Hopkin Club to its current status in the 21st century,
the Scarab Club focuses on fine, performing, and technical arts and is
still housed in its original 1928 building, a historic local, state, and
national landmark. The club's exhibitions, programs, and costumed balls,
the prominent visitors' and members' signatures on the second-floor beams,
and the architectural decor of the clubhouse combine for its unique distinction.
From its inception, the Scarab Club's mission has been to educate and enlighten
its members and the community in the arts. The organization maintains a
clubhouse for the exhibition of arts, provides facilities for artists for
the advancement of their craft, and for other activities directed toward
the education in the arts."
