Our goal is introduce new audiences to unique and amazing art in Detroit and help create a younger community of art supporters by curating socials around amazing events. Money from ticket sales helps us cover a portion of event and operation costs - and so we depend on the further kindness of friends like you to help! Donate now and help make something great happen in the city of Detroit.
