The Shepherd and Stanton Yards, Little Village, Detroit
Step into Detroit’s creative future at Crandemonium — the signature fundraiser for Cranbrook Art Museum and Cranbrook Academy of Art — celebrating Cranbrook’s legacy and its deep roots in the city’s artistic landscape.
This high-energy evening begins with an exclusive preview of Seen/Scene: Artwork from the Jennifer Gilbert Collection—the first public showing of Gilbert’s private collection. Co-curated by Academy alumnus Nick Cave (MFA 1989 Fiber) and Cranbrook Art Museum Chief Curator Laura Mott, the exhibition presents portraiture by 36 contemporary artists, exploring the question: How do we truly see one another?
Guests of Crandemonium will get a first look at the exhibition ahead of its public debut.
The celebration continues across the street with Art After Dark at Stanton Yards—featuring a live DJ, dancing, dessert, and an art installation. oss the street with Art After Dark at Stanton Yard—featuring a live DJ, dancing, dessert, and an art installation.
