2025-10-08 | Victor Ekpuk: received Margaret Herz Demant African Art Award

Congratulations to our fellow Victor Ekpuk, who received the Margaret Herz Demant African Art Award!

The Margaret Herz Demant African Art Award recognises individuals who have promoted and supported African art and culture through the creation of art, scholarship exploring its significance and history, as well as its collection, exhibiting and funding. Created in 2005 as the African Art Recognition Award, it was renamed in 2019 in honour of Margaret Herz Demant, a major patron and benefactor of the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) whose personal collection was gifted to the museum.
