About the event
Celebrate Detroit’s rich legacy of metalworking, innovation, and design with CAN Art Handworks during this special Month of Design event. Led by master craftsman Carlos Nielbock, CAN Art has been transforming raw materials into architectural ornamentation, public sculpture, and functional art for over three decades—fusing historic preservation with visionary design.
Guests are invited into the heart of the studio for an up-close look at Detroit’s metal arts renaissance. The event features live forging demonstrations, studio tours, and a curated exhibition of handcrafted works that highlight the beauty, precision, and cultural relevance of metal design in the modern era.
Discover how time-honored techniques and industrial heritage continue to shape contemporary Detroit. This is a rare opportunity to meet the artists, experience the making process, and engage with work rooted in craft, culture, and community.
