ARTIST RECEPTION, MAY 16, 5-7 PM (PARKING FREE AFTER 5pm)
Donita Simpson's portraits have hung in the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, traveled the nation and won many Statewide competitions. She has been photographing Detroit artists since the 1990s, and continues to devote her attention to artists that have worked and produced art in Detroit for two decades or more.
Simpson's exhibit: Context is Everything, is a photographic endeavor about identity and character artists. The photographs are an inquiry into the commonalities of artists within the city they inhabit. Her quest is to demonstrate how artists contribute to the identity of the community in which they live and work.
Simpson is interested in how artists influence each other and how they communicate with the audience. Each depiction brings the audience a bit closer to the art community, their work and the personal environments in which they live and create. It's her hope that through this investigation, the community of Detroit, as well as its community of artists, is nourished, encouraged and enabled by a glimpse of the spirit that feeds the passion that serves to build and strengthen the city.
