What we’re about
If you enjoy the arts and expanding your perspective then this may be the group for you! Did you know there are OVER 50 museums in the Detroit Metro area as well as many cultural interests? Join us to enjoy this rich cultural history we have accumulated here over all these years!
We will have an event at least once a month. It will start with a venue throughout a particular museum or other cultural venue, then convene for a dinner or lunch where we can discuss our viewpoints of the art experience we shared.
All viewpoints need to be respected and treated with kindness. Since the host is expecting you and sometimes there are waitlists, we will abide by the common 3 no show rule before you would be considered for suspension.
Participation in finding and hosting events is always welcome so please feel free to know your ideas will be not only be welcome but part of what will make this group grow!
In addition we require a photo of yourself so we can recognize you at events. Do not apply with a generic photo.

NOTE: YOU MUST RSVP WITH THE LINK PROVIDED in order to attend:
RSVP FOR THE EVENT HEREJoin us for this free presentation discussing a slice of time regarding the Detroit art scene beginning in the late 1960's.
The Cass Corridor Movement, which emerged as an artistic reaction to Detroit’s post-1967 riots, is characterized by the resourceful use of materials by local artists from the early 1970s. However, many other artists of the time, who were not considered part of this loosely defined movement, were also creating works that demonstrated similar creativity, including those working with Charles McGee’s Gallery 7.
Detroit as Resource: Reflections on the Art of a Post-Riot City brings together in conversation Nancy Mitchnick – a celebrated painter affiliated with the Cass Corridor – and Carole Harris – an accomplished textile artist whose first solo show was with Gallery 7. The two artists will discuss the motivations and materiality of the time and the complexities and limitations of categorizing artists through movements. Reflections on the Art of a Post-Riot City will be moderated by Kat Goffnett, Associate Curator of Collections and curator of How We Make the Planet Move.
