The Detroit Institute of Arts has an entire exhibit filled with paintings, photographs, pottery and jewelry hanging on the walls, all of it made by kids from Detroit schools.
Nearly 250 pieces from almost 40 schools across the district. This partnership has been going on for 89 years now. It’s the longest continuous collaboration between the DIA and any educational organization ever.
The show runs now through May 24. And the best part -- if you live in Wayne, Oakland or Macomb County, it is free to see.
Ani Garabedian, the manager of community engagement programs at the Detroit Institute of Arts, joined Local 4 Live to talk about the exhibit.
