Bloomfield Hills, Mich., January 22, 2018 – Cranbrook Academy of Art announces its slate of public lectures for the spring semester.

The Academy’s open structure allows for a responsive approach to curating its lecture series so that the conversations on campus are timely and reflect urgent issues in each respective field.
