Art Exhibition Events Today in Detroit

Andy T's Urban Vision is the first mid-career retrospective of Detroit-based installation artist Andrew W. Thompson, popularly known as “Andy T.” As a sculptor, Thompson gives new life to discarded objects such as tires, grocery bags, plastic bottles, and mailing envelopes, thereby integrating questions of environmental, social, and economic sustainability into the context of art. Treating art as a “fundamental life-organizing principle,” the artist observes, researches, and interprets how everyday items circulate, shape, and express social beliefs and cultural customs. 313-593-5087

Join us at MOCAD Friday, April 19 from 6–8pm to celebrate the opening of the Annual Teen Art Exhibition titled SELFish. The exhibition will be on view April 19–May 26, 2024. SELFish is organized by MOCAD’s 2023–2024 Teen Council. SELFish explores the many different ways our teens across Southeastern Michigan communities convey their identity through creative means. Whether an abstract composition, an interpretive sculpture, or a traditional self-portrait, all art is an opportunity to better understand its creator. Through these modes of making we offer the question, what makes you, you? (313) 832-6622
