Wayne State University’s commitment to arts and

Wayne State University’s commitment to arts and culture in the city has been “Warrior Strong” since 1968. For each DLECTRICITY festival, the university offers up its architecture for creative transformation and its open spaces for artful conception. The Wayne State Welcome Center and the Woodward|Warren Greenspace have never failed to provide DLECTRICITY installations with room for interaction and potential. Light installations can play with the transparency of the majorly glass Welcome Center, and temporary architectural complexes can populate the open space of Woodward|Warren. We are happy to have this support from @WayneState and utilize these spaces to transform the Midtown landscape into a light-art wonderland!

What can be more whimsical and fantastic than a Seussian Arkestra? Perhaps the experience of being a part of the ensemble! Throwback to the Expanded Seussian Arkestra, an aural ensemble of interactive sculptures inspired by Dr. Seuss and Sun Ra and the Arkestra. This animated installation was imagined by Jake Chidester and Alisyn Malek of @corktownstudios, and was displayed at DLECTRICITY 2017 with support from Clark Hill PLC!—————————————

During a time of financial stress and a serious pa

During a time of financial stress and a serious pandemic, it is crucial that we continue to support our most beloved museums—do you have one in mind? The American Alliance of Museums has set up an online action center to help each of you ask your state’s congress representative to include museums in economic relief packages amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an impactful way to help out some of your favorites museums. Visit @aamersofficial to read more information. See below. ——————————————
Repost from @aamersofficial: Nationwide, our museums are losing at least $33 million per day as a result of #COVID19 related closures—and will be in desperate need of help in the weeks and months to come. We urge Congress to provide $4 billion in economic relief for museum nonprofits. Read the full letter at the 🔗 link in our bio.

Artists Julie Hinzmann and Shawn Saharko were on point with their re-appropriation of plastic bags in 2014—they saw the function of the often-discarded material as something more everlasting. Throwback to their DLECTRICITY installation outside of the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center. “Thank You, Thank You, Thank You,” was made up of six handwoven “smokestacks” of plastic bags, each illuminated from within. ——————————————
