The Carr Center is lifting the city’s student and emerging artists in a new “Celebrating Black Arts” exhibit in collaboration with Bedrock. The pop-up exhibit and cultural space is inside Bedrock’s 1001 Woodward Avenue building through the end of Black History Month. It features artwork by 23 student artists from 10 Detroit schools, along with 10 emerging and established artists from the city.
Throughout the month, the exhibit space also hosts quilt-making workshops and spoken word, film, music and dance performances. The Boys and Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan’s “House of New Detroit” collection from its fashion club is also on display.
At the end of the month, top prizes for two art categories — the junior division, grades 6-8, and the senior division, grades 9-12 — will be chosen. The exhibit is open 4-8 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays; 12-4 p.m. Saturdays; and 1-5 p.m. Sundays.
The Carr Center President Oliver Ragsdale joins host Stephen Henderson to share details about the “Celebrating Black Arts” exhibit. Plus, he talks about the importance of having this celebration of Black art forms in a prominent downtown Detroit location during Black History Month.
