Current PASC Exhibitions

Industry & Identity: Herenplaats X PASC

"Industry & Identity: Harenplaats x PASC" is an international collaborative exhibition, featuring artists from Rotterdam and Detroit engaged in a dialogue about the cities in which they live and work. Through drawings and paintings, they explore how industry, labor, music, architecture, and the people themselves shape the identity of a city. While Rotterdam and Detroit each have their own distinct history, they share a spirit of resilience, determination, and continuous reinvention. Industry & Identity brings these connections together in an exhibition presented simultaneously in both Rotterdam and Detroit, co-presented at PASC Detroit Gallery, Detroit, and Galerie Atelier Herenplaats, Rotterdam, NL. Founded in 1991 by artists, Galerie Atelier Herenplaats is an art studio for artists with disabilities, which works to build art careers for its artists with disabilities in the contemporary art world.

We Need More Whimsy

PASC presents "We Need More Whimsy", a group exhibition featuring PASC artists from all three PASC Studios. This exhibit invites viewers to rediscover lightness amid a world often weighed down by uncertainty and unrest. Curated by Michigan-based artist Rashaun Rucker, this exhibition ushers in human desires for joy, imagination, and wonder. Through vibrant colors, unexpected forms, and a spirit of experimentation, these works encourage viewers to embrace moments of delight as acts of resilience. In challenging times, whimsy is not a retreat, but a resource — a reminder that laughter, curiosity, and fun are necessary tools for navigating the world around us.

“Off The Wall” is an exhibition at PASC Southgate Gallery featuring artists from all three PASC studios and highlighting works from across the PASC community.

In this exhibition, color and tone suggest a shift in the season, highlighting the return of colors and the reemergence of animals.
