Collected Detroit
905 Henry, Suite 300
Detroit MI 48201
2439 Fourth
Detroit MI 48201
A gallery near Cass Technical High School. The current location is in the same block as the old location, you just have to round a corner.
There was so much art packed together in a space larger than a typical gallery, that at the first exhibition I wondered if it would be more appropriate to call this place a museum rather than a gallery.
I had the impression that even the large selection on display at the opening exhibit was but a tip of the iceberg, and that the total collection consists of local artists, mostly living, and famous artists, of past generations, in perhaps equal measure.
Gallery hours are Wednesdays through Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and by appointment.
Upcoming exhibitions
Not yet announced. As of 2025, I came to be under the impression that Collected Detroit merged with the Museum of Design Detroit, or that it was renamed to that, or replaced by it. Then, early in 2026, I became aware of a Museum of Design exhibit slated for January 10 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The announcement did not mention Collected Detroit at all.
