From Natalie Davies: Detroit Free Press
About 50 works of colorful and thematic student art lined the walls and tables of Detroit’s Office of Arts, Culture and Entrepreneurship’s new headquarters during its opening at the Butzel Family Recreation Center, 7737 Kercheval Ave., on Friday, May 16.
Lacey Holmes, ACE’s project manager for arts initiatives, said ACE solicited submissions from schools, art teachers and community organizations throughout Detroit.
“What you’re seeing is some of the brilliance that’s happening in schools across the city,” ACE Director Rochelle Riley said about the gallery.
The Kresge Foundation and the Hudson-Webber Foundation sponsored the city gallery and work with ACE to engage the city’s next generation of artists, Riley said.
