Art and Revolution in Detroit's Cass Corridor Opening - Free!

Join us to celebrate the new exhibition Art and Revolution in Detroit's Cass Corridor. Bounded by the Lodge, Interstates 75 and 94, and Woodward Avenue, this area became a symbol of Detroit’s decline in the late 20th century, often described in the media as “Detroit’s Notorious Cass Corridor.” Yet falling rents and its proximity to Wayne State University helped to foster a vibrant community that became a regional center for social justice, anti-war and anti-fascist activism, a cradle for Detroit’s first avant-garde art movement, and a launchpad for two distinct waves of distinctly Detroit-style music.
- Remarks from Jeremy Dimick, Detroit Historical Society Director of Collections & Curatorial, and Peter Werbe, guest writer for the exhibition
- Live music by Tino G's Dumpster Machine wsg Johnny Bee and Ralph Koziarski
- Light refreshments
Admission is free! Registration requested at https://go.detroithistorical.org/casscorridor
