Detroit's College for Creative Studies to mark 100th student exhibition
Detroit's College for Creative Studies (CCS) has been sending gifted artists out into the world for over a century, and on Friday, May 16, the institution will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its annual Student Exhibition Opening and Reception.
Boasting more than 3,000 pieces of art and design across creative disciplines, the 6-10 p.m. event will feature live entertainment, hors d'oeuvres and drinks.
'We have transportation design, game design, fashion design,' said CCS president Don Tulski. 'We also have interior design now. We have interdisciplinary art and design as well as communication design, product design, in which you'll see a lot of really cool stuff. You'll also see animation and film, photo, a lot of arts and crafts. We have glass blowing, metalsmithing and jewelry, which informs our fashion program.
'We're one of the few colleges that has that range of art and design. That we're pretty proud of, and we do it at a high level. Our quality is really good. Our students go on to show work in galleries around the world, around the United States, and our designers go on to work for General Motors, Ford, Stellantis, the fashion brands you might think of like Stuart Weitzman, Louis Vuitton, Coach. We have our alums who do animation and film and go on to work in Hollywood on shows like 'The Mandalorian,' or creating their own shows. And we have alums that are now working at Boston Dynamics as robot designers, which is part of the future.'

The 2025 Student Exhibition will have displays at both the A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education and the Walter and Josephine Ford Campus. Free parking will be available on both campuses with a complimentary shuttle service to and from either campus.
'It's really a big celebration for creativity in Detroit,' said Tulski, 'and it starts right here at CCS.'
Tickets for the Student Exhibition Opening and Reception start at $50 (or $30 for alumni) and can be purchased at ccsdetroit.edu/student-exhibition.

Pedro Pascal wanted to quit acting. His community didn't let him.
If you feel like Pedro Pascal is everywhere right now, it's because he kind of is. This week, the 50-year-old star of such critically acclaimed shows as "The Last of Us" and 'The Mandalorian' — as well as the buzzy new A24 film "Materialists" — appeared on the cover of the July/August issue of Vanity Fair. In a heartfelt interview with contributor Karen Valby, he attributed his success as an actor to the assistance he took from 'angels around him": his friends, family and even his late pit bull mix, Gretta, whom he grieved before his big break. 'In my 30s I was supposed to have a career,' Pascal said to Vanity Fair. 'Past 29 without a career meant that it was over, definitely.' After the death of his mom Veronica, who died tragically by suicide, the Chilean American, then 24, worked in restaurants and bars while trying to make it as an actor. Pascal often contemplated changing his career but was urged by his oldest sister, Javiera Balmaceda, to stay on course. 'When Pedro would say, 'I'm going to nursing school' or 'I'm going to be a theater teacher,' it was just like 'No, no, no, no! You're too good!'' Balmaceda said. 'The one thing we'd never allow Pedro to do was give up,' she added. During this time, his friends would buy him groceries, Balmaceda would give him money to make it through the week, and his college friend, actor Sarah Paulson, would let him use her sister's car and give him her per diem money from her performing jobs. Pascal also credited his dog with giving him the excitement he was missing. '[Gretta] saved my life, that dog, because she gave me someone to go home to,' he said. This year, the award-winning actor reprised his role as Joel Miller in the second season of HBO's hit series 'The Last of Us' and starred in Celine Song's romance film 'Materialists,' where he plays Harry Castillo, a desirable bachelor. Pascal will cap off his packed summer by appearing alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Ari Aster's western 'Eddington' and entering the Marvel cinematic universe as Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, in 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' sharing the screen with Vanessa Kirby.
