Earlier this month, the Detroit Institute of Arts was "saved" by a voter-approved property tax (called a "millage") in its three surrounding counties. Residents in the three counties that pay the millage will receive special benefits : free admission to the museum and expanded educational programming. Vote with your money instead."

Some events: Aaron Dworkin , a pretty amazing individual in many ways, is putting together SphinxCon , a conference happening this weekend in Detroit with a focus on "empowering ideas for diversity in the arts." My sister attended, and I kicked myself about 87 times for not knowing about it or getting out there.

After the tour, the group came back to NYSCI and we had a brainstorm… let’s just do it in the museum. Why at NYSCI?
