Detroit After Dark
Detroit Institute of Arts

Detroit After Dark is a dramatic display of light and dark, a photography exhibition of works from the DIA’s permanent collection.
Detroit After Dark includes architectural studies, street scenes and graffiti, as well as some of Detroit’s famous night haunts, like jazz club Baker’s Keyboard Lounge, the legendary Grande Ballroom, and punk and garage rock venues such as Bookie’s Club and the Gold Dollar. This exhibition is a survey of Detroit photographers documenting the night, both past and present, and also features photography from visiting artists to the city, such as Robert Frank’s rarely seen City Hall, Detroit from 1955.
