Arab American Museum Launches Exhibit, Honors Book Award Winners
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) - The Arab American National Museum is launching an exhibition on themes of displacement and survival as it honors its annual book award winners.
The museum in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn holds the event Friday evening. It includes a gallery stroll through the exhibit entitled "The Far Shore: Navigating Homelands," readings by poets featured in the exhibit and a presentation of the 2018 Arab American Book Awards.

The exhibit, which features paintings, textiles and photography responding to poetry, runs through April 7.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and $10 for museum members.
