Monet, Van Gogh, and Rodin are a few of the artists enthusiasts have come to enjoy during visits to the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). Beginning April 12 the museum invites everyone to view masterpieces by the next generation of art greats during the 71st Annual Detroit Public Schools Student Exhibition.

Students from kindergarten to 12th grade submitted works to a panel of judges in mediums including drawing, ceramics, collages, and jewelry. The top creations were awarded a place in the exhibition that will remain on view at the Detroit Public Library-Main Library until May 17.

“It is so inspiring to see creative works by young people,” said Jennifer Williams, associate educator for the museum’s student and teachers programs. “Their art speaks of what appeals to them, and in turn gives us insight into their world. Everyone should take an opportunity to come out and see this enlightening exhibit.”

An opening reception for students and their families will be held from 1-3 p.m. on April 12 in the Old Fine Arts Room of the Detroit Public Library-Main Library. Call (313) 833-7977 for more information.

The 71st Annual Detroit Public Schools Student Exhibition was organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Detroit Public Schools and is made possible with the support of the Ruth T. Cattell Education Endowment Fund, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, and the City of Detroit.
