A long history
of projects
For more than thirty years, Detroit Focus has been promoting and
supporting the artists of Detroit. It has provided opportunities
for artists of all disciplines – both emerging artists as well
as those with well-established careers. The link below will take
you to a timeline that lists the many exhibitions and projects that
Detroit Focus has produced.
UPDATE FEB. 17, 2012
The Archives of American Art in Washington DC has recently agreed
to accept over thirty years of material from Detroit Focus.
A very special
project:
Detroit Focus 2000
In November 2000, Detroit Focus, an artists' alliance, coordinated
the largest visual arts event in the city's history. Detroit
Focus 2000 consisted of well over one hundred exhibitions and
dozens of lectures and special events.

The Robert
Wilbert Project
Detroit Focus, using a grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts
and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA),
has created a publication about artist Robert Wilbert and his impact
on the artist community during his 38-year teaching career at Wayne
State University.
The recent exhibition of Robert's work at Susanne Hilberry Gallery
has ended. However, the book, Robert Wilbert: Ennobling the Ordinary,
is still available at the gallery at a cost of $50.00. Or you can
order it direct from Detroit Focus.
