Contemporary Art Institue of Detroit

CAID was founded in 1978 by a visionary group of Detroit area artists, including Charles McGee and Jean Heilbrunn. In the years since its inception, CAID has existed in several different forms, and has generated many impressive events that have directly supported the arts in Detroit.

CAID reinforces our dedication to the contemporary arts and their vital connection to society. CAID's support for exhibitions, performances, discourse, and funding of contemporary arts enhances our ability to engage with the cutting edge of artistic expression. This partnership enriches our cultural offerings and strengthens our commitment to fostering critical dialogues in the arts.
