When we throw around the word “art”, everyone has a different visual picture that comes up. For me, I tend to think of fine arts, things found at the DIA (Detroit Institute of Arts) or MOCAD (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit). The reality is that art exists all around us, in many forms, and not just inside the walls of museums. This past month I had the privilege to view the art collection at DMC (Detroit Medical Center). It was unexpected and powerful, used as a tool for healing. To learn more about the collection check out The Healing Work of Art: From the Collection of Detroit Receiving Hospital. The following images are of pieces located at DMC. 
As I reflect on the power of art, I’m inspired to continue discovering hidden gems in this city. Detroit was designated as a UNESCO City of Design in 2015, so I know there are many places I still have left to discover.
