Collaborative Partnership with the College for Creative Studies
Joye Opoku Ofei was born in Ghana, West Africa. Mr. Ofei received numerous citations and awards as a child, leading to national and international art competitions in West Africa. His successful career as an artist has enabled his work to be shown widely, some of which is on display at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit. He is currently a resident drawer and painter who works with youth at the Detroit Institute of Arts, the College of Creative Studies, and the YMCA. Mr. Ofei will share his traditional culture, music, and artistic experiences during these workshops.
