Detroit's first major contemporary art event and platform linking Detroit and the global art world.

BRINGING DETROIT’S ART

TO THE WORLD

AND THE ART WORLD

TO DETROIT

Beginning in 2025, DETROIT SALON will connect Detroit and the world’s most esteemed art fairs, museums, collectors, and galleries. Detroit is no stranger to change.

From the birth of the automotive industry to the rise of Motown and techno, the city has reinvented itself many times over.

The world knows Detroit’s cars, sports, and music, but it’s time the world knows the city’s world-class contemporary art community of artists, curators, galleries, and institutions.

“Many initiatives have been proposed over the years to support artists in Detroit and Michigan. We find this program to be the most organized, most credible, and most powerful platform for offering real access, inclusion, and exposure at the highest levels of the art world.

We are energized by the structure of this program and the opportunities it offers for authentic storytelling of Detroit’s unique and diverse art landscape.”
