The Detroit Exhibit

The Detroit Exhibit aims to create a comprehensive digital catalog that preserves, showcases, and highlights the legacy of the numerous artists, institutions, and influential figures who have significantly shaped Detroit’s Black artistic community. This initiative is dedicated to rediscovering and paying tribute to those individuals and groups whose vital contributions have often gone unnoticed or forgotten over time. By bringing their achievements to the forefront, The Detroit Exhibit seeks to ensure that these deserving talents receive the recognition and respect they deserve within the narrative of Detroit's cultural landscape. Ultimately, this project aspires to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the essential roles these artists and institutions have played in defining the city’s identity and influencing the broader conversation around Black creativity in our nation.
