Much of this exhibition is drawn from the DIA’s collection and contains prints by John Sloan, George Bellows, Glenn O. Coleman and Martin Lewis. Their images depict casual, daily life, featuring people at the circus, beach, boxing matches, reading, walking, dancing or relaxing, among other activities. Individual images by other artists will be displayed around these works, as well as colorful lithographs created by Edward Penfield and William Carqueville for magazines. The exhibition also features works from the late 1930s by artists who were employed through the Works Progress Administration, a federal economic relief program.

 The Michigan Chapter of Women's Caucus for Art inaugural exhibition is an all media juried exhibition which examines the female's symbolic place "at the table." The artists investigate the places they sit or are barred from sitting at in society, politics and their own personal lives. Featuring artists Brenda Oelbaum, Patricia Izzo and Anne Sheill.
