One of the oldest and most complete collections of African American art in the nation just got a major upgrade – and you can see it now at Detroit’s world-class art museum.
The Center for African American Art at the Detroit Institute of Arts was the first department of its kind in the nation when it was founded in 2000. Seven years later, the museum opened its first gallery dedicated specifically to African American Art, then located on the upper floor of the DIA in Midtown Detroit.
