Detroit Institute of Arts: Opening Day | Detroit Style and Russ Marshall! November 15,2020_June 27 2021

Opening Day | Detroit Style and Russ Marshall November 15, 2020–June 27, 2021 Detroit Style: Car Design in the Motor City, 1950–2020 Detroit designers have always led the way in car design. The futuristic concept cars, roaring muscle cars, and sleek racers designed in and around the city shape our ideas of what a car can be. Working on paper, in clay, and in metal, their ideas drive American car culture and inform the way we get around every day. This exhibition organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts will highlight the artistry and influence of Detroit car designers working between 1950 and the present day. Learn more > Russ Marshall: Detroit Photographs, 1958–2008 The Detroit Institute of Arts presents a survey of over 90 photographs by Russ Marshall whose black-and-white imagery was inspired by the Motor City’s streets, architecture, music and factory workers for over 50 years. Marshall interprets over five decades of blue-collar life, Detroit and its environs through photographs that capture the city’s heart and soul sometimes reading like a melancholy poem but most often as an empathetic narrative of resilient people, places and times now past. Learn more > Advance reservations are required for all visitors to the museum and includes admission to Detroit Style and Russ Marshall.
