About the event
LIVE / WORK: Cranbrook Alumni in Detroit highlights graduates of Cranbrook Academy of Art who have built their practices in Detroit, demonstrating how design is actively shaping the city’s future. Presented as part of Detroit Month of Design 2026, this open-studio initiative moves beyond exhibition to reveal how artists and designers generate economic opportunities, foster resilience, and engage community through their work.
By opening their studios, participating alumni connect process to impact—creating pathways for income, collaboration, and visibility while advancing more sustainable, inclusive models of creative practice.
UN SUSTAINABILITY GOALS
We use Detroit's UNESCO City of Design designation as a call to action for Detroiters to embrace the Sustainable Development Goals in their own communities, contributing to the active effort of solving global interconnected issues.
