The art gallery is free and open to the public to browse and take in the art, and the classes that you can take here are varied and not super expensive. My family and I visited from out of town to tour the facility and peek into the gallery, but if I lived in the area, I would totally take advantage of the classes here. They offer glass blowing, ceramics, stained glass, oil painting, jewelry making, watercolor paining and lots more. The work space they have set up for classes is bright and airy, and there are lots of materials everywhere in the organized space. They have kilns and ovens for creating pottery and glass pieces, and the whole area is just super conducive to creativity. They have rotating exhibits that feature local and not-so-local artists, in a gallery that with everything from paintings to sculptures. It's a great space to just wander around and get inspired.

This place used to be a tattoo parlor and it shows in the layout. It might not be optimum for all shows but I kind of liked it for the Midwest and Beyond graffiti show I attended with some fellow Detroiters. One of the tattooing rooms was the cofounder's studio that he had opened up as a chill spot and it was fun trading sketches in black books with others who sought a place away from the hubbub of the main room. Connor Degnan's Art was on full display, too, and it was a fun side quest from the main exhibit. A back room also had some brightly colored pieces that seemed to be part of the permanent or semi-permanent collection. Turnout was just right; the room was filled up but not overstuffed to the point of claustrophobia. The curators maximized the wall space with a lively and varied collection. Quality varied but there were definitely some standout pieces. To me the big problem with reproducing graffiti style art in a gallery is it loses a lot of its vitality stripped of its proper lawless context. It loses a lot of its street cred if you take it off the streets. Nevertheless it was fun to see and a good crowd to see it. A DJ played old school hip hop and the snack table was legit. The rap letters over the front door with the gallery name was a nice touch; I feel like that's not just for this show and is gonna be around. I hope so. Hope this gallery is gonna stick around, too. It could really go either way with this type of establishment.

It was such an exciting and freeing experience, to be dancing and surrounded by awesome art. I can't wait for the next one. If you are in town and want to hear some creative music or catch a live art display, go check out Dregenfly Art Studio.

By chance, we lucked out and visited while the artist himself was onsite. The staff were so friendly, greeting us as soon as we stepped inside and advised that the exhibit was set up on the first floor in a loop. The building is a former home and is quite lovely on its own, and then the council has done a great job organizing their exhibits to complement the building and make it easy to move around. We enjoyed looking at the wide variety of train photos from all around the country, and getting to chat with the artist was nice - he was great with kids too and had a little game for them to find where the photo on his business card was in the gallery. Outside, the grounds are beautiful too and the backyard goes down to the river. There's a nice parking lot available outside and admission is free. We will have to watch for future exhibits!
