news - 04_27_2010For the past 85 years, the College for Creative Studies has transformed its campus in the heart of Detroit’s Cultural Center into the ultimate gallery experience with the annual Student Exhibition. On May 14, 2010 CCS’ new A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education, in Detroit’s New Center will become the gallery with more than 3,500 pieces of student artwork available for viewing and purchase at the annual Student Exhibition Opening. New this year, over 50 pieces of work done by 6, 7, and 9th grade students at Henry Ford Academy: School for Creative Studies will also be on display.
