DETROIT – An exhibit on the post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh will be held at the TCF Center this summer as the convention center remains a vaccination site.
The TCF Center is one of the first and largest vaccination sites in the area and vaccinations will continue in June as parts of the center will be transformed for the Beyond Van Gogh art exhibition.
The Detroit Health Department provides guidance by reviewing plans and conducting walk-throughs of such planned events. Organizers of the Van Gogh event have communicated their safety measures including limiting the amount of people in attendance, mandatory mask-wearing, hand sanitizer stations throughout exhibit and we will provide additional guidance as needed to ensure all safety protocols are followed.

But if you’ve searched “Van Gogh Detroit,” you may also have heard about the Immersive van Gogh Exhibit Detroit, which runs from October through February. No location has been announced, but according to the website, the event will take over a “secret venue” in the heart of Detroit.
People have been confused over the dueling van Gogh events and wondering what safety precautions will be in place. There’s also the chance the events might be postponed or canceled, and residents are wondering if they will get their money back.
