On Saturday, January 23, Cranbrook Horizons-Upward Bound (HUB) students, faculty and volunteers hosted a Water/Filter Drive for Flint. The HUB team met at Cranbrook to load donated water and water filters onto a bus for transport to Art Van in Royal Oak, where more water was collected from the community for distribution to Flint. Each HUB student was encouraged to bring at least one bottle of water to donate. Cranbrook is very proud of the outreach and teamwork demonstrated by HUB, and thanks them, Art Van, and the community for organizing and supporting this water/filter drive. Visit
HUB's Facebook page to view more photos from their water drive and

Liz Cohen, Artist-in-Residence and Head of the Photography Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art, launches a new body of work in Him, a project by Liz Cohen. Open through March 6, this exhibition
draws from her continued interest in exhibitionism, subcultures, and acts of belonging. Her point of departure is an ongoing collaborative research project with a self-described eunuch, who has undergone radical surgical transformations. Cohen utilizes classic documentary tools-interviews, photographs, and video which is drastically altered into textile, sculptural, and image-based forms. For more information, visit our
