A day for the community to walk through, explore, and purchase or appreciate artwork from both local and international artists. The exhibition brings together paintings from Detroit to Bangladesh, highlighting Hamtramck’s identity as a true cultural melting pot.

The Barbershop Art Gallery will have our current exhibition on view, Always On My Mind. The show is a solo presentation by Chicago-based ceramicist, video, and installation artist Laveen Gammie, which puts on display her sensibility for poetic placement and disguised morbidity.

The Barbershop Book Gallery will have on sale our extensive photography book collection, curated by longtime collector and publisher Daniel Eller. Our stock ranges from affordable $10 options up to hard-to-find rare selections.

The Hatch Art Center was originally constructed as a dormitory for nuns and nursing students, and then used for the city’s police headquarters for three decades. The rooms on the second floor are used for artist studios, and art lines the hallway. Take a peek behind the studio door, artists will be present and opening their spaces to the public over the course of the day. Participating artists include Kayce Gifford, Grace Queen, Coral Sifre, Mike Kelly, and more!

Additional offerings include Stolen Moment by Erin K. Schmidt and Laura Beyer in the Hatch Art Gallery and The Mechanical Requiem by Ed Griggs and Luke MacGilvray in The Jail Cell. The Hatch Art Center will be open from 12pm – 9pm, with an opening reception starting at 6pm. All events are free and open to the public.

Hello, friends!

After Miss Emily Wood wraps things up in her studio, we’re moving the party to the backyard. Enjoy live sets from local electronic and punk musicians and rub elbows with the local color.

6-9 PM

Featuring:

– Permanently Pissed –

Arguably Detroit’s most heroic rabble-rousers. These trash punk champions of glorious, noisy imperfection have been blindly forging their own path for years through both the local and national scenes… amidst a sea of peers that seem content to play it far more benign and safe. This band absolutely rips, and their recorded material does not prepare you for their electrifying live shows. Do yourself a favor and don’t miss this rare backyard performance by the wildest kids.

– Nauseous –

This oddball Detroit rapper has been overpaying his dues and sharpening his lyrical sword in the local scene for years. Nauseous likely rappity-raps circles around your local champion and still finds ways to bend and break the genre rules. A skilled MC and truly one of one.

– Polari –

This NYC/Philly expat came to roost right here in lovely Hamtramck and we couldn’t be happier for his arrival. A veteran of the east coast punk and post-punk scene; Nate makes dark, seductive, and even danceable post-punk/darkwave music that crackles with gloomy atmosphere and raw energy. Buzzing synthesizers and relentless drum machines hammer away against dramatic vocals and mangled samples. Come and dance ’til you cry. The debut album drops on a midwest label this December, so come and be a cool guy that saw it live before the album was even released!
