Grand On River (5001 Grand River Avenue, Detroit)
EHerg presents: ‘Nothing Good Happens After Midnight,’ a unique and tightly curated gallery showcase in which 20 local artists will display their photographs captured in Detroit after the sun has gone down and most people are already in bed. Each artist was hand selected due to their unique eye and distinct ability to capture how Detroit looks and feels at night, creating a striking portrait of the Motor City that most folks will never see with their own eyes.
This event is free and open to the public, but donations will be accepted at the door to benefit the Detroit Impact Center, a community-based youth center on Detroit’s west side that works to help at-risk youth develop a sound values system, strong personal motivation, and positive self-esteem (https://www.detroitimpact.org/).
