The Robert Wilbert Project

Detroit Focus has received a grant from the Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs, which included money from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for the purpose of funding the Robert Wilbert Project. The purpose of the project is to create a publication about artist Robert Wilbert and his impact on the artist community during his 38-year teaching career at Wayne State University.
