PLAYGROUND DETROIT: COMM[UNITY] II Group Exhibition

‘because you’re safe’, 2023

Thrilled to be included in PLAYGROUND DETROIT’s second COMM[UNITY] Group Exhibition with 90+ other Detroit-area artists!

‘because you’re safe’ is a homage to my grandmother’s wedding day with her first husband, Normand. They both grew up in Detroit and got married at a Catholic Church in Detroit.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
COMM[UNITY] IIis the second edition of PLAYGROUND DETROIT’s inaugural group exhibition (2017) recognizing the importance of the Detroit arts community to host a safe, inclusive space and provide a collective opportunity to share the vision and voices of Detroit artists, as well as celebrate the 6-Year Anniversary of gallery opening at 2845 Gratiot Avenue.

Join us for the Public Opening Reception on Saturday, December 2 (6-9PM). The exhibition will be on view through December 2023 (Thursday-Saturday 12-5pm) and by appointment only in January 2024.  

COMM[UNITY], our inaugural group exhibition that opened six years ago, featured over 30+ artists to celebrate the grand opening of the gallery. Now more than ever, providing space for the first open-call exhibition to bring together diverse artist perspectives and a safe inclusive space seems critically important. The presentation of artwork seeks to unify and demonstrate the talent and dedication of Detroit’s creative community, which is bound not by geography or practice, but by an enduring set of shared values of respect and creativity.  

PLAYGROUND DETROIT is welcome to anyone and everyone. We provide a space for all community members and is accessible across race, gender, class, sexuality, and ability. We believe in creating an environment that is inclusive and welcoming, where everyone—guests, artists, customers, staff, and community members—are treated with respect and dignity.

Street Parking is free, please be courtesy of neighbors.
