Detroit Artists Market and College for Creative Studies Present: Dope Women in Media

The Detroit Artists Market (DAM) is proud to announce the relocation of its exhibition Dope Women in Media curated by Laura Gibson, to the Center Galleries at the College for Creative Studies (CCS). Originally scheduled to open on January 24, the exhibition was postponed due to a significant flood that temporarily closed DAM’s gallery for renovations.

About the Exhibition

Dope Women in Media celebrates the groundbreaking contributions of women in media arts. Featuring work by Detroit-based artists, the show explores intersections of film, video, photography, and new media—highlighting personal and social themes shaping contemporary culture.

Through bold, experimental, and critical practices, the exhibition shines a spotlight on the powerful voices of Detroit women working in art, filmmaking, and storytelling.

“I’m grateful to the Detroit Artists Market and the College for Creative Studies for partnering to showcase the Dope Women in Media exhibition. DAM’s efforts to keep its programming alive while recovering its space is to be applauded. I look forward to seeing these amazing women photographers and filmmakers on display at CCS.” – Laura Gibson, Curator
