PASC’s current exhibition is a group show with artists and staff from PASC and our neighbors Signal-Return a non-profit dedicated to preserving and teaching traditional letterpress printing and building a community center for art, craft, design and collaboration. This show is about the people who work, represent, support, and create in these non-profit art incubators. This show presents artists with and without diagnosed disabilities alongside each other and spans across both organizations' galleries. 

This exhibition is also a prelude to a print project Signal-Return has initiated with PASC artists Sherri Bryant, Chantell Donwell, Ronald Griggs, Shawn Jackson, Keisha Miller, Thomas Saunders, Aaron Taylor, and Jeremy Taylor, to premiere later in the Fall of 2024.

PASC (Progressive Art Studio Collective) was launched in January 2021 as the first progressive art and design studio, and exhibition program, in Detroit and Wayne County, dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance independent artistic practices and build individual career paths in the art and design fields. Our exhibitions program is supported with grants from the Michigan Arts and Cultural Council, Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Signal-Return is a Detroit nonprofit dedicated to preserving and teaching traditional letterpress printing, and building a community center for art, craft, design and collaboration. For more information visit. www.signalreturnpress.org 

This exhibition is being presented as part of the Detroit Month of Design.
