Detroit is a city that knows how to make something out of nothing. The art and design at this fair reflect that scrappy, beautiful spirit. You’ll see pieces made from salvaged car parts, reclaimed wood, and fabrics that were probably someone’s old curtains. It’s art with a story and a history, and that makes it feel so much more valuable than something mass-produced.
You’ll walk out of that warehouse feeling a little different. Maybe you’ll have a new poster for your kitchen. Maybe you’ll just have a great story about the time you saw a guy selling a chair made entirely of old skateboards. But you will definitely have a smile on your face, and a fresh appreciation for the weird, wonderful things people make with their hands. And honestly? That’s the best souvenir you can get.
