The 2021 All Media Exhibition reveals how Detroit artists kept busy during the surge of the pandemic. They created artworks that expressed, through varied artistic approaches, the importance of hope, survival, love, humanity, identity, beauty, community, nature, and culture for their and our lives. The skills with which these perspectives are conveyed in the artworks justify the region’s enduring pride in its artists. –Valerie J. Mercer
