THE POWER OF THE POST

Yesterday we posted an image to our Facebook page made up of an ad campaign put together by the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. The gist of the ads were taking the ideas from anti-drug ads and applying them to the world of art and art school. We assumed this would be just a little fun thing, but suddenly it exploded and has become the most viewed, shared, commented, and liked post we've ever had on Facebook.



The website Museum-Analytics.org, which tracks the social media presence of nearly every museum in the world, made this statement today via Twitter...

AMADEUS

On Thursday (12/1) we will screen the 1984 classic AMADEUS as part of our ongoing "Magnificent Vision" Film Series. There will also be a special musical performance by the Appassionata Duo, playing classical and pop tunes on harp and viola. The music begins at 5:30pm, the film begins at 6pm.
