Local students' artwork is on display downtown this month for "Celebrating Black Artists."

Details: Dan Gilbert's Bedrock is hosting the exhibition on the first floor at its 1001 Woodward Ave. building in partnership with the Carr Center, per a news release.

Students who were chosen through a juried process addressed a theme with their work: "How will you shape, change and reimagine our future?"
Art from 10 non-students will also be displayed, including from visual artist Yvette Rock and Chanel Beebe, an artist, engineer and founder of a design firm.

If you go: The free exhibition runs through Feb. 29, 4-8pm Thursdays and Fridays, noon-4pm Saturdays and 1-5pm Sundays.

Events are also planned around dance, quilting and storytelling.

Of note: The Carr Center has other Black History Month programming, including its group exhibition "BLACK," which stands for "A Built Language Across Culture and Knowledge," Metro Times reported.
