REIMAGINE: An InsideOut Literary Arts Poetry Showcase

Join InsideOut Literary Arts for a performance featuring some of Detroit's most acclaimed youth and adult poets. Poets will perform original work inspired by pieces in the Reimagine African American Art gallery. Join us as we showcase the artistry of local poets and celebrate this world-class collection of African American art.
