ArtVenture Bus Trip — ArtVenture in collaboration with BIPOCA Incubator and the Gallery Committee is offering a trip to the Detroit Institute of Art on May 30, 2026. The Detroit Institute of Art collection is regarded as among the top six museums in the United States and home of Diego Rivera’s mural “Detroit Industry, or Man and Machine”.
Near the DIA campus are many other museum opportunities including the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and Michigan Science Center.
Heading into Detroit for the day we will first stop at The Heidelberg Project located on Heidelberg and Elba Place streets, between Ellery and Mt Elliott, in Detroit’s McDougall Hunt neighborhood for a short visit.
The Heidelberg Project is an outdoor art environment created by artist Tyree Guyton on Heidelberg Street in Detroit, Michigan. It transforms abandoned houses and vacant lots into large-scale art installations using salvaged materials, with the goal of raising awareness of urban decay and acting as a catalyst for community revitalization. The project, which integrates the street, sidewalks, and trees into its art, uses art to educate, provoke, and stimulate creativity and pride in the neighborhood.
May 30, the bus will start loading at Meijer parking lot on Lima Rd at 7:30am and leave by 8am. We will return by 9pm. The cost for the day is $65 if paid before April 20. After this date and if seats are still available the cost will be $75. We are running this trip close to cost so we will be unable to refund your money unless we are able to fill your seat with someone else from the waitlist. You can also give your ticket to someone else but please let us know about the change.
We hope you will join us by clicking on this link to register.
