The DIA’s Ongoing Commitment to African American Art: Reimagined Galleries, Renewed Vision

October 29, 2025
Salvador Salort-Pons
DIA Director, President and CEO

During my college years in Europe, I didn’t have opportunities to learn about African American art. It wasn't until I moved to the US, and more specifically when I began working at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 2008, that I began to truly explore and understand African American art history.
