In 1980, CAID sponsored "Exhibition Sites 1, 2, and 3". This show included performance, conceptual and video art at Hart Plaza during the Republican Convention. In 1984, CAID crossed the border to work with Artcite in Windsor. In both 1984 and 1985, CAID sponsored "A Road Show", an exhibition that toured a number of Michigan cities, as well as Chicago. A four-part lecture series was held at the Detroit Institute of Art in 1989, and again in 1991. In that same year area artists were invited to create art for the "Art Time Capsule", buried in Harmonie Park, as well as a plethora of other visual, musical and performance art events throughout the past 26 years.
