Re/View: CCS Alumni Exhibition highlights the diverse artistic accomplishments of CCS alumni, spanning decades and disciplines. This annual showcase honors our shared history while highlighting ongoing creativity, and fostering meaningful dialogue among alumni, students, and the wider community.
Unfortunately, Midtown Detroit Inc. (MDI) has paused the annual Noel Night event until next year. While this outcome isn’t what we anticipated, MDI has shared that they’re working toward a more inclusive, culturally relevant, and sustainable event in the future.
