BIG Art will provide that space for Detroit artists and art, and nourish ongoing and expanding growth.
Detroit will fall short of realizing its potential in the arts without more affordable studio space for artists. Without reasonably priced spaces to work, artists will struggle to create the potent, substantial work Detroit is known for.
The site is an 110,000 sq ft industrial building and office building on 3.7 acres. The plan is to create 60 artist studios in the office block and intermediate industrial spaces. The 45,000 sq ft of 25-38 foot high stud industrial bays will become an events space for art fairs, special exhibitions, performing arts and “Main Street’ for commercial activities such as café, restaurant and galleries which will open onto the soon to be commissioned Joe Louis Greenway.
- Detroit can be the arts center of America, and this project will help make that happen.
- This project will demonstrate to our communities, visitors from the US and the world the outstanding work of our local artists.
- This facility will provide an exceptionally welcoming and uniquely flexible space for art fairs, performances and special events.
