83rd Annual Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) Student Exhibition

May 18 – June 28, 2020

Updated May 17, 2020

This annual exhibition showcases hundreds of imaginative works created by DPSCD students and selected by a jury of DPSCD art educators and DIA staff. The artworks include ceramics, painting, drawing, fiber, sculpture, photography, digital art, jewelry, mixed-media and video.

The partnership between the DIA and the DPSCD is the longest standing continuous relationship the museum has with an educational organization. Many of the students whose works have been featured in the exhibition have gone on to pursue successful careers in the arts, including, among others, Mario Moore, a New York-based contemporary painter whose works have been shown in exhibitions across the country and is included in the DIA’s permanent collection.
