Our History
Meet Our Team
The PLAT is operated by a team of passionate and dedicated professionals .

Robert Karazim was a powerful force in Downtown Pontiac following his move there in 2009. A Detroit native, he used his skills, talents, and enthusiasm to bring new life onto Saginaw Street. He became the Arts Commissioner for the City of Pontiac, founded Canvas Pontiac, and was Vice Chair of the Pontiac Historic Commission. As CEO of K and R Studios, named for himself and his lovely partner Karen, he renovated 3 buildings, the last being 47 North Saginaw Street, home to Pontiac’s Little Art Theatre. A lifelong lover and patron of the arts, Robert created a place to showcase artists of all kinds. Robert Karazim passed away in January of 2022, and his partner of 27 years, Karen Jorgensen, promised to continue his wonderful work in Pontiac.
