Detroit Is a City of Makers.

Artists and designers, young professionals and entrepreneurs of all backgrounds are reinvigorating Detroit. Detroit is building its reputation as a hotbed for aspiring artists and designers, a fashion hub, and well-known publications and websites are calling it an art Mecca.
