ACCENT ON ALUMNAE TIFF MASSEY '00

Congratulations to Class of 2000 Alumna and Detroit Artist Tiff Massey on her solo exhibition “7 Mile + Livernois,” which opened May 5th and runs until May 2025 at the Detroit Institute of Arts!

Learn more here.

“7 Mile + Livernois” is Massey’s most ambitious museum installation to date, featuring new sculptures commissioned by the DIA in conversation with works by several other artists from the museum’s collection. Massey’s work reimagines art’s role in the community and offers a vibrant, inclusive view of Detroit.

Trained as a metalsmith, Massey beautifully scales up her jewelry to the size of architecture, crafting sculptures that pay homage to Detroit’s evolving neighborhoods and the rich history of West African and Black American culture and style. Her art invites us all to celebrate our collective identity, ancestral flyness, and beauty.
