Dearborn hosts citywide art show, historic preservation conference

Art, old and new, will be discussed widely in Dearborn this month.

New is the Dearborn Public Schools City Wide Art Show, starting on Tuesday. The show will feature a wide spectrum of art from young people living in the city.

The Padzieski Gallery, Dearborn’s free public art gallery, is heading up the event in Dearborn’s Ford Community and Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Avenue, near the intersection of Greenfield Road. During the opening of the exhibit on late Tuesday afternoon, several student artists will demonstrate their creative process in a variety of media. The works will be on display until May 27.

Old is the 28^th-Annual Statewide Preservation Conference of the Michigan Historic Preservation Network, which runs next weekend, May 8 through May 10. A number of activities and discussions geared toward historic preservation will be held during the event.
