Evening of Arts 2026: Celebrating the Inner Child

Evening of Arts transforms the Hunt Street Station coworking space into a multi-floor immersive arts experience. This year's theme, Exploring the Inner Child, invites visitors to reconnect with curiosity, imagination, and creative expression through, visual art, fashion, film, music, and hands-on experiences. Rather than viewing art from a distance, guests are encouraged to play, create, and reflect as they journey through each floor of the historic building. Featuring Detroit-based artists and designers across a wide range of disciplines, Evening of Arts celebrates the city's creative talent while fostering meaningful connections between artists and the community.
