The City will open a new headquarters for its Office of Arts, Culture and Entrepreneurship on May 16, completing a relocation from the Marygrove Conservancy campus and continuing the office’s pledge to be housed in a neighborhood rather than downtown.

The new headquarters will feature the first-ever, city-sponsored children’s art gallery to showcase the exciting work being done by talented schoolchildren across the city. 

Any children, parents and teachers still interested in submitting art can do so by April 14 and should adhere to the following guidelines:

• Young artists must be age 10 to 18.
• The artist should email a letter to [email protected] with the following information:
o Name, address, email address and phone number
o Parent or guardian’s name, email address, and phone number (if under 18)
o Name of the artwork
o One paragraph describing how their art fits the theme
o High-resolution photo of original artwork (jpeg, pdf, or png file)

All artwork must be submitted by April 14, 2025, at 11:59 PM. Late submissions will not be considered. More information about the exhibition and the contest is available at www.detroitartsandculture.com.
