If you’ve ever put pen to paper, paint to canvas or done anything in the spirit of art, you probably appreciate all of the art and artists that can be found here in our community. Throughout the month of April, there are fantastic opportunities to see and appreciate the spirit of Detroit artistry. From Arab-American artists in Dearborn to the beauty of imperfection in Detroit, here are five art shows and events happening this April in metro Detroit.
Eight galleries. Eight exhibits. Gallery Rally in Dearborn is a weeklong event with art exhibits located at museums, libraries and more throughout the city.

Since the Red Bull House of Art was established in Detroit, it has operated on a three-month artist residency program that brings in artists from around the world and gives them a space to live and create.

Through this two-hour class, led by a local artist, you will learn how to paint your very own picture of the planet we all call home in celebration of Earth Day. All materials are included in the admission fee. Space is limited so register as soon as possible!
