The collection features pieces by Warren Anderson. He uses photography, montages, and prismacolor pencil drawings to highlight road signs from across the U-S, mainly from along Route 66.
Gallery Curator John Graham says a former gas station near downtown Macomb inspired one of Anderson's pieces.
Graham says the collection is unique because it includes so many pieces done by one artist. The collection contains more than 100 pieces. It was donated by Anderson's son, Brian Anderson.
