Watch Where Detroit Industry Has Floundered, Art Scene Flourishes on PBS. See more from PBS NewsHour.
Last night, the PBS Newshour featured Detroit’s incredible artists and thriving cultural scene on the national broadcast. The report is a rich, interesting and very-Detroit look at some of the world-class people who create art in Detroit and take Detroit to the world.
From PBS:
In Detroit, where the population has dropped by 2 million, abandoned and neglected buildings are a normal sight. But look more closely, and beautiful murals and graffiti appear everywhere. Correspondent Spencer Michels reports on how artists, flocking to the city, are helping to spark the ailing economy.
