The multidisciplinary exhibit is a preview of the art center’s 2022 season and kicks off a two-building redesign, the center said in an announcement.

The new exhibit features an artistic exploration of history and commentary about current times and the future.

“The artwork within Historic Futures acts as a guide, questioning the past and envisioning what’s to come, as life edges forward toward the future,” the exhibit’s website says.

Put together by Detroit-based arts curator Juana Williams, participating artists for “Historic Futures” include Lisa Alberts, Stephen Arboite, Yuling Chuang, Sarika Goulatia, Camille Hoffman, Ayana V. Jackson, Jason Quigno, Josie Love Roebuck and Darryl DeAngelo Terrell.

Historic Futures runs from Friday, Nov. 12 to Thursday, Dec. 30. Learn more here.

The new gallery is at 115 W. Liberty St. next to the art center.
