Detroit's contemporary museum was established in 1996. Since MONA first opened its doors, the museum has exhibited hundreds of regional, national and international artists. MONA has created exchanges of Detroit artists with those in other US cities and in Europe and Asia. Over the years, it has spawned other similar institutions, most notably: the Michigan Institute of the Arts (MIA), the Detroit Center for Contemporary Photography (DCCP), MONA North, Museum of Photography and New Media, and Midtown MONA.

Excerpted from the PBS interview with Jan van der Marck (founding director of Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art) discussing Detroit's Museum of New Art and its founder Jef Bourgeau.
As we approach the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, WDET’s Rob St. Mary went looking for some perspectives in the art world. Rob spoke recently with Pontiac based artist Jef Bourgeau about his thoughts on the use of 9/11 in art and a gallery show he hosted in early 2002, about six months after the event, at the Museum of New Art called “Ground Zero”.
