Today, let's celebrate a little creativity Made In Detroit, something positive…
The showcase, “Celebrating Black Artists,” hosted by Bedrock and The Carr Center, features 23 student artists from 10 Detroit schools as well as work from 10 emerging and established Detroit artists. The free show is on display inside Bedrock’s 1001 Woodward building through Feb. 29.
The Carr Center put out a call for student art submissions in December and had a jury of professional artists look through the artwork and select the pieces featured in the exhibit, [Carr Center's president and CEO Oliver] Ragsdale said. The work was selected into two categories–a junior division for grades 6-8 and a senior division for grades 9-12. Top prizes in the two categories will be announced Feb. 29.
Exhibit hours are 4-8 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays; noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays; and 1-5 p.m. Sundays.
