What we’re about
If you enjoy the arts and expanding your perspective then this may be the group for you! Did you know there are OVER 50 museums in the Detroit Metro area as well as many cultural interests? Join us to enjoy this rich cultural history we have accumulated here over all these years!
We will have an event at least once a month. It will start with a venue throughout a particular museum or other cultural venue, then convene for a dinner or lunch where we can discuss our viewpoints of the art experience we shared.
All viewpoints need to be respected and treated with kindness. Since the host is expecting you and sometimes there are waitlists, we will abide by the common 3 no show rule before you would be considered for suspension.
Participation in finding and hosting events is always welcome so please feel free to know your ideas will be not only be welcome but part of what will make this group grow!
In addition we require a photo of yourself so we can recognize you at events. Do not apply with a generic photo.

Detroit led the world in architectural innovation during the first half of the last century, among the most important and influential of the city’s architects was Albert Kahn. Almost single-handedly, Kahn revolutionized factory design, enabling the high-volume, mass production of automobiles, aircraft, engines, weapons, and consumer products. Albert Kahn and his engineer brother, Julius Kahn, the inventor of modern reinforced concrete, transformed factories, warehouses, and office buildings from dark and dingy fire traps, into the strong, well lit, clean, and safe modern structures.
By the late 1930s, Albert Kahn’s firm was the leading industrial architecture firm in the world, and was designing nearly 20 percent of all architect-designed industrial buildings in the United States. In Detroit, Kahn and his firm planned more than 400 structures, including The Fisher Building, General Motors Building, and The First National Bank building. From the towering smokestacks of The Ford Motor Highland Park Factory to the awe-inspiring size of The Rouge, Kahn’s team shaped the very skyline of Detroit.
