This is a great hidden gem and all of the galleries are free. It's definitely really small like you could see everything under an hour. There's also a small gift shop.

They've been around a long time and it seems like they showcase pretty old school artists here, too. The last show I attended here was for venerable Cass Corridor artist Robert Sestok. I tend to forget about this gallery, tucked back into a little storefront spot on the ground floor of a loft building. It's location and small size make it good for gallery hopping, though. Detroit Artists Market is nearby and the evening I made it to the Sestok opening here I also checked out an opening at the MOCAD. I'd also recommend checking to see when openings are as they'll likely be open later and you can see the space buzzing with people.

The shows she assembles and puts up are breathtaking.They are so clued into the spirit of Detroit and so magnificently displayed that you will walk out of them needing a fan.

It's just that fine.

The one big downside to this gallery was that it was not air-conditioned on a recent warm summer…read moreday when I visited. A friend and I sweated our way through both floors of the gallery because they had some interesting pieces, but it was cooler outside in the breeze. That being said, this gallery has an eclectic selection of paintings, prints and sculptures, including some lifelike and life-size sculptures and more abstract pieces. Some of the "art" was so immersed in pop culture (a painting based on the Family Guy cartoon? Puh-leez...) that I thought it was kind of junky. However, I liked a lot of the paintings and almost all the sculptures, including some great bronze sculptures by Yuroz. The building itself is pretty cool, too. There's a glass atrium at one side where some sculptures are on display, and there's a spiral staircase up to the second floor.

Remember those ceramic Christmas trees that your mom/aunt/grandma used to trot out during the…read moreholidays? Before you let nostalgia overtake you and cause you to drop $100+ on a replica or a vintage version shipped from some hipster in Minnesota, I urge you to stop in at Bob & Hazel's to take a look at their original molds... and be prepared to have your mind blown. Until stopping in at Bob & Hazel's, I wouldn't have had a clue where to go for ceramics supplies or classes. When I first walked in, I was blown away by the sheer volume of molds- row after row of cool vases, statues, and of course those cute little Christmas trees. They have ceramic slip in bulk, as well as boxed clay, tools, glazes, and everything you need to make your own ceramic art. The lady working there mentioned that they have ceramics and pottery classes available on Wednesdays, though it sounded like those weren't written in stone. Best to call ahead to see if anything is scheduled. The biggest shock to me was that they will do the firing for you, from their molds or your own custom pours. I think the main reason I've never taken steps to get into ceramics is because the investment cost of a kiln is immense. Take that away, and ceramics are a pretty darn affordable hobby/craft, and much more interesting than all the crocheting and knitting I see filling the craft shows around town. This place is a hugely hidden treasure in downtown Pontiac. Come early, and know that it's closed on Sunday.

For a small fee of $9, I got 15 weeks of lessons. For that price I signed up for 2 classes. The people that work there are kind and the people in the classes are nice and supportive also. I have learned a lot about collages and have been in 2 of the art exhibitions. A great place for seniors to get involved in different activities. Thanks to the staff at the Hannan Center from the janitor to the top administrators.
