Join us for a dramatic reading of Van Gogh’s Letters presented in conjunction with the Van Gogh in America exhibition now on view at the DIA. The DIA has selected several of Van Gogh’s letters to friends and family that help paint a picture of the artist’s life through his own words.

To bring the letters to life the DIA has partnered with Shakespeare in Detroit, a nonprofit organization that enhances and supports the cultural growth of Detroit with professional theatre created through a conscious lens of equity, diversity and inclusion. The letters will be performed by actors of various backgrounds enhancing the appreciation and interpretation of the correspondences.

This evening of intimate performance will be presented in the DIA’s Lecture Hall.
