Gallery and museum colleagues from the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD), Detroit Artists Market (DAM), Wayne State University (WSU) Galleries and College for Creative Studies (CCS) Center Galleries will share their organizations’ missions and discuss how they interact with one another.
Individual gallery and museum fundamentals will be defined, including the following: budgeting, marketing, exhibition and season design, and facility operations. Each organization’s mission will be clarified by addressing their advantages and limitations. An emphasis on education will follow.
Specific content will include the interpretation of works at the DIA, WSU and CCS Galleries’ roles in academia, MOCAD’s newly developed education department, and DAM’s special opportunities for art students and faculty.
Each organization provides a unique educational experience for their visitors. Fruitful relationships between organizations have developed through cross promotion and collaboration. The outcome has been local, regional and national exposure for the wide range of educational opportunities that Detroit galleries and museums have to offer.
