From April 6 through 10, Art X Detroit will showcase newly
commissioned works by Kresge Artist Fellowship winners from 2008 to
2010. It's presented by several local institutions -- the University
Cultural Center Association, College for Creative Studies, ArtServe
Michigan and MOCAD. It's sponsored by the Kresge Foundation and, best of all, everything's free to the public.
One
of the highlights is sure to be an installation by Charles McGee, whose
sculptures and paintings appear all over Detroit, from Detroit
Receiving Hospital to the Detroit Institute of the Arts and the Broadway
People Mover station. And at 86, he's still making new art. Talk about a
hometown treasure.
