Detroit port taps familiar face as new leader
Delorean Holmes, a Detroit native and longtime economic development official, is returning to lead the Detroit/Wayne County Port Authority.

Driving the news: Holmes, most recently Wayne County's economic vitality director, succeeds retiring executive director Mark Schrupp on Nov. 13. Holmes previously worked at the Port Authority from 2014 to 2022, including as deputy director. Delorean Holmes.

Detroit connections are highlighted in both galleries. “The opening of our new modern and contemporary art galleries marks the culmination of an inclusive and ambitious vision for how we present the art of our time,” said DIA leader Salvador Salort-Pons in a statement. He is the Mary Anne and Eugene A.

A voltage transformer, screws in plywood and reclaimed metal gears are some of the wide-ranging materials used in the new fall exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit . Why it matters: MOCAD's sweeping 20th anniversary exhibition honors the creative people who have shaped it. The arts space reopened this spring following a big renovation. The show features more than 80 artists — including 40 from Detroit. It celebrates the institution's history while contemplating its future.

"Artist as Architect" centers on artists who design spaces and experiences, reshaping our world. "Detroit as Material" shows artists engaging with the city's culture, infrastructure and history.
