Tonight at WSU: “Beauty in Unexpected Places”
Can beauty be used as a catalyst for urban revitalization? The 2013 Van Dusen Urban Leadership Forum at Wayne State University will pair a nationally renowned author, public art specialist and creative entrepreneur with existing and emerging community leaders to explore this very idea.

The public lecture and panel discussion begins at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 10 — that’s tonight — in Wayne State’s Community Arts Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. RSVP here.
