The show goes from June 24 to Aug. 16 at the DCDT Corridor Gallery. The gallery reception if from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 28.
Detroit's Denby High School has teamed up with LTU's College of Architecture and Design's Marburger STEM Center to get students involved and focused on the idea of community.
The studio asks students to understand critical research and enforce their design-thinking principles. In this exhibit, students conduct research, analyze data and gather their own experiences to make an art design that explains their issue on something specific. They will create design interventions that address urban liabilities relevant to Detroit and the world.

This exhibit's show runs from June 25 to Aug. 20 at the DCDT Woodward Gallery. The reception is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, July 13.
The exhibition highlights methods and processes of spolia, which is a cultural practice from ancient times focusing on the possibility of the spoliation of the American 20th century, including its materials, inventions and more.
The work will show 10 years of research and analysis as understood, taught and practiced.
