Art Practice Faculty and Alumni Participate in Monumental Group Exhibition Celebrating Detroit’s Artistic Creativity

Bringing together 150 Detroit-based artists, Reyes | Finn Gallery puts on the largest exhibition in the gallery’s history — featuring 23 CCS faculty members and alumni.

On display until May 6, the “Get Together” exhibition is dedicated to the creative life of Detroit, and to the significance of the region as a historical center of experimental art production. “Get Together” presents a dynamic look into Detroit’s contemporary moment.

The artists had creative freedom with their work that’s featured in this exhibition, with the only exception being the size of their piece.

“Detroit is a deeply generative and creative place,” says Bridget Finn (‘05), Reyes | Finn co-owner. “With this show, we wanted to devote time and space to creating opportunities to bring artists living and working here into each other’s orbit — to check in with each other and share more on what each of us are putting into the world.”
