IRWIN HOUSE GLOBAL ART CENTER & GALLERY – 2351 W GRAND BLVD – DETROIT 48208
As part of its Black History Month programming, Irwin House Gallery presents ART for ALTADENA an online exhibition to benefit the historic Black community of Altadena, which was decimated by the Eaton fire in California. In this exhibition artists from the East Coast, Detroit, and California combine creative forces to deliver aid to displaced Altadena families, with a focus on over 43 artists who have lost their homes and artwork. The exhibition is staged on the ARTSY platform to reach global audiences. Many of the works are also featured in ARTSY’s Black History Month special exhibition, Black Owned Galleries Now through February 28, 2025.

Artists have typically told the truth about their times. Some would argue that it’s their responsibility to do so. Well, Pontiac-based artist, Ivan Quiñones II has taken these times to task with his art. As always, Quiñones’ work is authentic, truth-bearing, meticulous, and unabashed. He has been creating new work since Day One of this new administration — working these ideas from the inside out almost as feverishly as our democracy is being challenged and changed. This is the artist’s way of expressing what many of us may be feeling and experiencing, politically. And, this is one of the reasons why art remains so critical in the world.
Please join us for a President’s Day Opening Reception and unveiling of these new works in a safe space to absorb the messages, reflect, share, and express our sentiments on these times. We will be joined by a few special guests from both Wayne and Oakland counties, TBA.
— The event is FREE and open to the public. RSVP HERE.
— WE THE PEOPLE will remain on view through February 28, 2025.
