A massive celebration of contemporary art that spans metro Detroit galleries, museums and art spaces is returning for its second year.
Art Mile will open June 14 and run through July 11. The arts festival with some venues participating entirely online and others allowing visitors to their brick-and-mortar locations will put the city’s diverse art scene center stage. Plans call for all events, virtual and otherwise, to be free and open to the public.
Last year, the inaugural event included more than 55 venues. Organizers expect this year s edition to cast an even wider net, and applications from interested venues are now being sought. A proven track record of hosting exhibitions and supporting Detroit artists will be expected of applicants. Temporary venues with no background in the field will likely not be accepted.
