The Downtown Development Authority East Dearborn is pleased to announce its newest initiative, “Art of Courage: Black Lives Matter 360 Exhibition,” February 8, 2021 – February 8, 2022, in the Connector at City Hall Artspace, 13615 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, MI.
Throughout history artists have been compelled to reveal and challenge the social conflicts that existed during their lifetimes which have left indelible impressions of change and progress. “Art of Courage: Black Lives Matter 360 Exhibition” continues that tradition by inviting Michigan artists to lend their visual voices to the issue of police violence and racial injustice and unrest in African American communities across the nation that has been sparked by the Black Lives Matter Movement. It is developed by the Downtown Development Authority – East Dearborn as part of their events addressing the broad impact of systemic racism in cities such as Dearborn, Michigan, where African Americans are not the majority population.
This exhibition will be presented both virtually, and inside the Connector at City Hall Artspace including its public outdoor grounds in Dearborn, Michigan. It will comprise more than thirty works from a variety of visual art mediums. In addition, the exhibition’s educational programs will include a series of Artists Talks and lectures.
“Art of Courage: Black Lives Matter 360 Exhibition” is just one in a series of events on issues of racial justice and equality that will be presented by the Downtown Development Authority – East Dearborn. Julia Kapilango, chair of the group, remarks, “I enjoy seeing artists of all mediums teaming up to produce such innovative and transformational experiences that match what our nation is feeling and thinking. I am grateful for our board’s support and leadership.”
“Art of Courage: Black Lives Matter 360 Exhibition” is made possible with the assistance of the Downtown Development Authority – East Dearborn.
