Current exhibition

• Skilled Labor: Black Realism in Detroit at the Cranbrook Art Museum, 39221 Woodward Ave, Bloomfield Hills. Opened October 28 and slated to run to March 3.

Upcoming exhibitions

• With Drew Leshko at Inner State Gallery? Originally slated to open November 17, 2017, but now that Inner State has closed, I still don't know, as of October 10, 2019, if this exhibit will take place at some other gallery or if it is altogether canceled.
