Detroit Synergy is proud to invite you to an inspiring and educational evening of art, exploration, dialogue and discovery.  In celebration of Black History Month and in the spirit of our mission to support Detroit institutions, Detroit Synergy February Meet Up (February 9, 2012)  will be at the magnificent Charles H. Wright Museum.

This is more than a chance to connect with Detroit Synergy Group; it is an opportunity to experience one of America’s top-rated African American museums, to connect or reconnect with a Detroit treasure.

This event is open to DSG members and their guests.  All events are free courtesy of the generosity of the Charles H. Wright museum. DSG encourages attendees to make a donation for their admission.
