MOCAD exhibition features 40 Detroit artists

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. How it works: Media and artists got a peek of "20 Years of MOCAD" on Friday. The show is made up of four parts: "Process Driven" focuses on music and sound installations. "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. "A Practice of Multiplicity" includes art that makes people talk — digging into social and political issues to understand our identities in new ways.

Great Lakes Memorial service held for those lost on Michigan waterways

Mariners’ Church of Detroit held its annual Great Lakes Memorial service at 11 a.m. Sunday. The service comes one year after Mariners’ Church hosted the 50th anniversary commemoration of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald, one of the worst, and certainly the best-known, maritime tragedies in Great Lakes history. On Nov. 10, 1975, the freighter, then the largest ship on the Great Lakes, sank during a powerful storm on Lake Superior, killing all 29 crew members. The disaster later became the subject of Gordon Lightfoot’s 1976 ballad, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” The service brought together an international audience of people wanting to pray for, and remember, the lives lost. “The Great Lakes are beautiful and a constant source of inspiration and joy for those of us fortunate enough to live by their shores,” said Rev. Todd Meyer, Mariners’ pastor. “But they can become dangerous and unpredictable in a flash. That’s why we take the time each year to reflect on those lives and to pray for safe passage and recreational enjoyment for all who spend time in and on the water.”

Gett’n Cheezy in Motown

Billy Nershi | The String Cheese Incident | Detroit, MI | November 5th, 2026 - photos by Photo Foo Foo. The String Cheese Incident has a long and close relationship with Michigan having played here over 50 times throughout their long career. Typically those shows take place on the west side of the mitten where Cheese holds their annual megalith festival ; Electric Forest. Detroit has only seen one cheese show in the last 26 years and this week marked only the third time in 30 years they have visited. To say the 313 natives were pumped and ready to get all seriously lactose tolerant is an understatement. A solid contingent made the mecca up from Cleveland for the show as well. 6 PM Doors and a 7:30 start time only added to the temptation for this school night crowd. The ‘Fillmore Detroit’ formerly known as the ‘State Theatre’ is one of the cities prettiest old movie houses sitting on Woodward avenue just across from the Detroit baseball and football stadiums and it's always fun to me to see the jamgrass community in their bright colors and dreads invade the old school marble and crystal palace for a show. Having doors an hour plus before the show with no opening act gave fans ample time to get there, get past TSA and find a bevy and a place to stand. The Fillmore holds close to 3,000 folks at capacity and this show was maybe three quarters full so lots of room to move around and boogie.

Northville football looks to keep its surprise run going in regional final

Northville knew it needed to keep unbeaten Saline’s high-powered offense off the field if it was going to win Friday, Nov. 6. Northville (8-2) did exactly that, grinding out two lengthy touchdown drives and controlling the line of scrimmage in a 17-14 victory to win the Division 1 district championship. Saline (10-1) entered averaging 46.1 points per game, the 10th-best average in Michigan. But Northville limited Saline to just 29 offensive plays. Danny O’Neil punched in the go-ahead TD from the 1-yard line in the third quarter, helping Northville advance to next week’s regional against Detroit Cass Tech (11-0). It’s Northville’s third district championship in program history and second in four seasons. Its first came in 2000. More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter “We wanted to control the line of scrimmage, attack the C gap and run downhill to see if they wanted to play a 15-round fight with us, and I don’t think they wanted to,” Northville coach Brent Luplow said. “We were really able to be more physical than them.” Saline quarterback Case Campbell threw a 13-yard TD pass to Gabe Iadipaolo in the first quarter, but Northville responded with a 13-play, 75-yard drive

Morning 4: Could Michigan help abolish the Electoral College? — and more news

Morning 4 is a quick roundup of stories we think you should know about to start your day. So, let’s get to the news. Could Michigan help abolish the Electoral College?. Recent elections reopened a potential path to effectively neutralize the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment — and Michigan could play a pivotal role. Americans do not directly elect the president. Instead, each state receives electoral votes equal to its congressional delegation: House members plus two senators, totaling 538 nationwide. That’s why Michigan has 15.

MHSAA football playoffs: Northville earns 'program-defining' district title

Andrew Shukeireh found himself in the spotlight on Friday, Nov. 6, during the biggest moment of Northville football's season. Holding a 17-14 lead over unbeaten Saline late in the fourth quarter of the 2026 MHSAA football District 1 division final, Shukeireh chased down a Hornets player and made a touchdown-saving tackle. Northville's defense held, forcing Saline into a field goal with three minutes left. This time, Shukeireh shot around the edge of the line and knocked the field goal attempt off course, preserving the lead. Northville (9-2) ran out the remaining clock, knocking off Saline (10-1) to pick up the third district championship in program history. DIVISION 6: Jai'Von Plowden breaks free to lift Detroit Edison to MHSAA district title "All three phases played about as good as they possibly could," Northville coach Brent Luplow said the following day. "In November, you have to run the football and get stops." Northville did just that. The Mustangs held the ball most of the night thanks to their strong running attack, finishing with over 34 minutes of possession. Northville dedicated itself to running the football, using seven different ball-carriers and a variety of formations. It was any means necessary against a talented
