Exhibition
American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell
March 8 - May 31, 2009

One of America's most enduring artists comes to the DIA in spring of 2009. From idyllic childhood scenes to commentaries on the post-war era and segregation, many paintings in Rockwell's six-decades of work have become icons of America. This wonderful exhibition features every Saturday Evening Post cover and a large number of Rockwell's exquisitely detailed paintings. Whether you're taking a look back or discovering him for the first time this is a must-see exhibition.

Exhibition
Seventy-second Annual Student Exhibition
April 26 - May 31, 2009 Walter Gibbs Learning Center

The Annual Detroit Public Schools Student Exhibition returns to the DIA after years in exile to inaugurate the Walter Gibbs Learning Center in the Wayne and Joan Webber Education Wing. The seventy-second such show features the works of young artists, from kindergarten to twelfth grade, in a range of mediums, including drawing, ceramics, collage, and jewelry, among others. A panel of three judges selected the works to be exhibited from the hundreds submitted for consideration. While the museum was undergoing years of renovation and construction, the show was held in the main Detroit Public Library, across Woodward Avenue from the DIA.

This year, student art works can be viewed on the online photo-sharing site Flickr.com.
