Dear Supporter:
We continue to look ahead. Your support has helped The Wright continue planning and moving forward as Detroit adjusts to a new, more open stage of the COVID-19 pandemic.
So much is on the horizon for The Wright. The Wright's African World Festival returns to Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit, July 15th through 17th. Made possible with major support from Ford Motor Company, The Wright’s signature summer festival features an eclectic group of artists and genres, ranging from local vocalists of note to nationally acclaimed performers. Vocalist Lizz Wright will perform music from her new live album “Holding Space.” The Wright's blockbuster exhibition King Tutankhamun: Wonderful Things from the Pharaoh Akhenaten continues through September 2022. The exhibition marks the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of the boy Pharaoh. The exhibition vividly brings to life Egypt's 18th Dynasty. In October, The Wright will open a spectacular exhibition on the history of Detroit jazz.
Because of our generous supporters, The Wright has successfully implemented core programming and maintained a stable financial position during a period defined by the massive disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the pandemic's impact, we are working to meet audiences as they re-emerge seeking in-person cultural programming.
Your support and belief in our mission made this all possible.
THANK YOU!
Neil A. Barclay, J.D.
President and CEO
