Presented by the Flint Institute of Arts and Communities First, Inc. this event gathered patrons of the arts to celebrate the exhibition opening for Revolutionary Times. Following an informative talk by the artist – Detroit native Mario Moore – attendees enjoyed viewing the exhibit during a cocktail reception featuring hors d’oeuvre and live entertainment. Revolutionary Times draws from three bodies of work by Moore; paintings, silverpoint drawings and works on paper that focus on American history and current connections to the past. There are currently 37 works on view through April 14 in the FIA Hodge & Henry Galleries.
This year’s Gala raised a record $68,000 in funds to support expansion and enhancement of the African American collection and African diaspora artists featured at the FIA.
