Petals and Portraits: Exhibition Opening
Sunday, September 20, 2026 | 2:00–5:30 PM
Vesey Lane Goods | 9920 Kercheval Ave., Detroit, MI 48214
Join us for the special opening of Petals and Portraits, a family-centered exhibition at Vesey Lane Goods.
We are grateful to everyone who shared family photographs and portraits for inclusion in this special exhibition. Each photograph offers a glimpse into a family, a relationship, a moment in time—and together, these images become part of a much larger story.
Petals and Portraits celebrates not only our individual family memories, but our collective community memory. Through these portraits, we are invited to reflect on the people, places, relationships, traditions, and experiences that shape who we are and, collectively, shape the story of our communities here in Detroit.
Like petals gathered into a bunch, each family story is distinct, yet beautifully connected to something greater.
We invite everyone who contributed a portrait, as well as friends, family, neighbors, and community members, to join us on Sunday, September 20 from 2:00–5:30 PM for a special viewing and opening celebration.
Thank you for trusting us with your family memories and for helping us tell a broader story of family, memory, legacy, and community.
Petals and Portraits will remain on exhibition through February 18, 2027 at Vesey Lane Goods.
