With the establishment of the UM Detroit Center in the cultural center of Detroit, the University of Michigan has returned to its roots and renewed its commitment to the people and the city of Detroit. To further cultivate this engagement with the community, the School of Art & Design is pleased to announce the grand opening of its exhibitions gallery in the Detroit Center “Work : Detroit.”

Through its exhibitions and related programming, this first of its kind gallery promises to serve as an intersection for the convergence of people and creative work from Detroit to Ann Arbor and beyond. It is in this fertile terrain that ideas collide and new perspectives to help us all face a rapidly changing future bloom.

Work : Detroit’s inaugural exhibition embraces this mission with “Intersection,” a site-specific and collaborative show bringing together A&D faculty and representatives of Detroit’s vibrant arts community. These makers of creative work share their diverse responses to the gallery’s literal location, the intersection of Woodward & Martin Luther King/Mack – sights, sounds, people they encounter, history, and more.

Please join us in celebrating the launch of this significant ongoing venture and be a part of the growing dialogue between the UM community and Detroit.

Work : Detroit a cultural nerve center where people, places, and creative work intersect

Regular Hours 10am to 5pm Tuesday through Saturday during exhibitions.
