Art All Around  While Get Versed trains a well-deserved spotlight on students bravely performing original poetry, spoken word and dance pieces, IO is proud to have our students share the stage with select pieces from the Detroit Institute of Art's collection. Students will perform amid a beautiful backdrop of art by the likes of famed Detroit painter and 2008 Kresge Eminent Artist, Charles McGee, photographer Edward West and French Painter Jean DuBuffet. Hope you enjoy the art all around you as much as the show.  To learn more about how art from the DIA has inspired student writers, please read a recent HuffPost Detroit blog by IO founder Terry Blackhawk.
