Satur-day and night in Detroit

Always one of the most inspired art events on the season, the Cranbrook Degree Show opens this Saturday, April 23. On display will be work by graduate degree candidates from the Academy's ten departments. There will be a members preview this Friday evening. (edit: I was just informed it will be a bit of a free-for-all Friday night. The reception runs from 6 to 8pm. See you there.)

2005 Graduate Degree Exhibition

This Saturday evening, our friends at Clear Magazine are throwing a little get together at the always hip and friendly Effigy Studios. On exhibit will be the photography of Clear publisher & creative director Emin Kadi. It's supposed to be invite only, but just tell the folks at Effigy that you read it on Burnlab. I'm not sure if that will get you in or thrown out though... ;) Festivities start at 7pm.

Oh, and there's also this thing going on the next few days called the Motor City Music Conference that has pretty much consumed the city. Imagine, if you will, SXSW, but Detroit-style... in every way imaginable. Our bloggers-in-arms at Motor City Rocks are doing an excellent job with covering all the happenings.
