All Events

Our events are where ideas become experiences. From student exhibitions and visiting artist lectures to portfolio reviews, panel discussions, workshops, and community collaborations, each gathering is an opportunity to connect, explore, and be inspired. Whether you’re a current student, alum, prospective creative, or part of the broader Detroit community, there’s always something happening worth showing up for.
Check back often, bring a friend, and step into the energy
of a campus that’s constantly in motion.
