How lucky we are!

Since my more bohemian days as an artsy-fartsy 20-something living in a basement of a huge…read morewarehouse/art gallery, I've had bouts of nostalgia for those live-work spaces that literally make you live and BREATHE your very art. Dust, paint, fumes, sweat, tears, blood, and lord knows what else becomes part of the particulate air flow. And of course Detroit has gotten a lot of press for being the new frontier for artists, the tabula rasa for experimenters and corporate-job-evaders but I admit to not witnessing much of this. Partly because all this opportunistic real estate and art endeavors are a little too ethically problematic for my taste, so I avoid them altogether. But hey, when you need to go support someone for their MFA thesis project, you STFU and convert your reticence into acquiescence. When all is said and done, I liked this space. Then again I'm a sucker for virtually anything housed in a domestic realm that is not traditionally domestic. There's a bathroom and a kitchen and two large'ish rooms in which to mill about and wax poetic. I saw a set of stairs leading up but did not take them (as it did not seem to be open to the public for this particular exhibition). The images on the website also suggest that there are other houses and other yards/landscapes in which various artists display their work. Come summer it might be worth checking out. From what I can gather, there are no set hours here - mostly just open for gallery openings. But I overheard someone saying that you can call ahead and make an appointment to stop by (perhaps the curators/owners/proprietors also live on premises). If you're so inclined to hop on the Detroit-art-tourist train, this might be a worthwhile stop. If not, then just walk on by.

Both the Z-Lot and the Belt Alley contain a wide range of artwork, from artists around the globe. A lot of it is quite edgy,fun and colorful.

The Z-Garage has artwork on all it's floors and you don't have to park there to see it. The view from the top of this parking lot is awesome. You get an amazing view for free. You can see many city sites from here. It is a must see point for great pictures. On a Sunday evening, this garage is reasonably priced at $10. We were able to park, and walk all the levels to see the murals. The garage is split, and you can cross over between levels 4-10. The view from the top is pretty great, too.

The Belt, which connects Gratiot Avenue to Grand River and stretches between Broadway and Library Street, was curated by the Library Street Collective and was opened in 2014. Its name honors the region's industrial history, which included the production of textiles and belts. One of Detroit's most picturesque and artistically vibrant public areas, it is now a pedestrian-friendly boulevard dotted with murals, light displays, and sculptures by both domestic and foreign artists. Beyond its aesthetic value, The Belt has developed into a center for local activities and nightlife. It is home to notable establishments including Standby, a contemporary speakeasy-style bar that was nominated as a semifinalist for the James Beard Award in 2017 and 2018, and The Skip, an outdoor cocktail bar with a tropical ambiance. Pop-up exhibitions, live music events, and even scavenger hunts have all taken place in the alley, allowing guests to interact with the artwork in fun ways. The Belt offers a captivating fusion of Detroit's gritty past with its forward-thinking creative energy, whether you're enjoying a drink, taking pictures, or just taking in the ambiance. I spent a nice time here, enjoying the artworks and just taking in the ambiance of this interesting and unique alleyway. [Review 963 of 2025 - 445 in Michigan - 24517 overall]

They are located in a neighborhood that I would definitely be cautious if traveling alone. Inside there are beautiful arts pieces and beads thru out the bldg. There is so much to choose from, Im sure you will find something. I bought a few pieces to make earrings to give away for the holidays. On the outside you will see mosaics, sculptures, paintings, old items turned into unique art pieces. Tip: Stop by if you have some time, you wont regret. All the pieces are reasonable priced.
