 Board games (Metro Times Detroit)
Heather Jones, a former DAM board chair, has a theory about why many directors seem to leave the organization so quickly: “After about three years, the organization ceases to be Detroit Artists Market, owned emotionally by the board, and becomes a private individual’s thing.
This is why it is so important that DAM maintains a strong outreach program, not only for children who aren’t getting the art education they need in school, but for people who feel threatened by art, believing they should understand it and feeling intimidated when they don’t.
Distinct from a contemporary arts museum that would bring artists from around the nation and world into Detroit for exhibitions, Miro thinks DAM is best at showing as much local art as possible in as many different ways as possible, and to facilitate getting the work to the rest of the world.
