DETROIT SALON™ is a high-profile, multi-year contemporary art initiative executed in collaboration with Salonnière, MEDC, Visit Detroit, CultureSource, TechTown, and Michigan Municipal League Foundation to establish Detroit as an emerging global art hub and to attract new visitors and residents to Detroit’s vibrant art scene.

Detroit and Michigan have world class talent, infrastructure and resources and deserve to be celebrated on the world stage. Integrating metro Detroit’s world-class cultural institutions and artists within the highest levels of the global art world, a signature city-wide contemporary art initiative and expo will put Detroit on the global art map. It will increase access, diversity and inclusion in the art market by celebrating Detroit’s brilliant and diverse artists and communities.

Artists for the 2025-2028 Detroit Salon initiative have not yet been selected, however, Detroit Salon has embraced and welcomed artists' and community

opinions from its early stages. A community engagement process has been in progress over a three year period, including with input from a multidisciplinary and multigenerational Artists Advisory Committee. A transparent, equitable process for nominating and selecting artists has been developed with community partners and a program Curatorial Committee. More information on open calls will be made available on our website.
