  • "Enshrined: Presence + Preservation" is on display

    This exhibition, featuring dozens of works of art by Detroit native Mario Moore, demonstrates his commitment to celebrating those who are within reach—presenting their labor and their leisure. He encourages us to question who is deserving of portraiture and thus preservation.
