Detroit may be facing its own financial crisis but this doesn\u2019t mean Detroiters are giving up on their city. On the contrary, local companies and cultural institutions are asking for their help and engagement in various projects that are meant to bring back Motor City\u2019s former greatness. An upcoming museum exhibit called \u201cDetroit Decides: Our Most Celebrated Buildings\u201d is one such example that requires public input. Scheduled to be unveiled on February 1, 2014, the project is being created by the Detroit Historical Museum and supported by the Detroit Historical Society.<\/p>\n

According to a recent press statement, the exhibit will feature three buildings\u2014along with key facts and stories based on Detroiters\u2019 memories\u2014that best embody the spirit of Detroit. The Society is reaching out to the people living in Detroit and the Metro area and asking them to nominate any past or present building until Friday, August 30, at the Detroit Historical Museum or online at www.detroithistorical.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The top three nominations\u2014which could include the historic Whitney Building<\/a>, the former Nabisco Building<\/a>, or even the castle-like GAR Building<\/a>\u2014will be revealed at the end of October and will be staged in the museum\u2019s Allesee Gallery of Culture<\/em>, which features the iconic people, places and moments that have been distinct for Detroit. \u201cDetermining the three buildings to be showcased will be based on the compelling cases made in the nominations,\u201d said Tobi Voigt, chief curatorial officer of the Society.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the award-winning Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD)<\/a> is getting ready for its next exhibition called \u201cThe Past is Present,\u201d which is inspired by Diego Rivera\u2019s 27-panel mural \u201cDetroit Industry.” Financed by the Ford family, the 80-year-old murals were commissioned from celebrated Mexican artist Rivera by the Detroit Institute of Arts to portray the fusion of man and machine. For \u201cThe Past is Present\u201d exhibition, scheduled to open on September 6, MOCAD has invited 15 artists from around the world to create new murals based on the history of Detroit, from the riots in 1943 and the decline of the manufacturing industry to the present-day urban gardening movement and social and political change.<\/p>\n
