Christie’s Auction House released their assessment of the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts a few days ago. INCA invites you to join an open forum public dialogue on the issue of the “monetization” of the "assets" of the Detroit Institute of Arts by the emergency manager Kevyn Orr, as part of the bankruptcy process of the city of Detroit.

The following .pdf is the full "fair market value" assessment of artwork owned by the City of Detroit (aprox. 5% of the collection):

Invited speakers will present brief statements that will be the starting point for public forum. Speakers include Maia Asshaq, Efe Bes, Olayami Dabls, George Henry, Hannah Kelley, Laura Mott, Steve Neavling, Zeb Smith and more tba.

Like all events at INCA it will be free and open to the public.
