This review is wayyyyy overdue… now to give the Detroit Design Festival (DDF) some recognition:
DDF took place back in September over an eight day stretch, featuring some amazing FREE events taking place all around the city, and was beyond a doubt THE BEST event i’ve been to all year!
The series of events that made up the Detroit Design Festival were absolutely incredible!!! Their opening party at New Center Park featured a runway show, hors d’oeuvres, artwork by Belozro, clothing and accesories from the ‘Detroit Hustles Harder’ team at Division Street Boutique, a guest appearnce by Joe Faris from Project Runway, and a souvenir bag filled with DDF swag for ALL attendees! An awesome free event plus a goody bag? Sweet!!!
At that point i was hooked… what other amazing events did the festival have in store?
I attended as many DDF events as possible… trying to learn, absorb, and experience as much art/​music/​culture/​design as humanly possible. At one point i did 8 events in one day, and loved every minute of it!!!
Some of the highlights of the Detroit Design Festival included:
+ Kick-​off Party (previously mentioned)
+ The Alley Project (def worth checking out — graffiti murals adorn a slew of garages in this SW Detroit neighborhood and there was a live graffiti competition taking place during DDF, soooo awesome!)
+ Carriage House Letterpress (a hands-​on letterpress workshop AND you got to take the works you made home with you)
+ Howrani Studio Open House (Detroit’s legendary photographer Ameen Howrani’s studio was open to the public, giving visitors an intimate look into the space of this great Detroit artist)
+ Eat. Sleep. Draw (live art being made at the Red Door Gallery where the finished artworks were then auctioned off later in the evening)
+ Fortress Studio Open House (i passed by this place dozens of times without knowing it was an art studio, so it was great to see the artist’s work… also, the hands-​on painting for visiting guests was def the highlight of this studio tour!)
+ Lafayette Park Walking Tour (giving some background info on the awesome buildings designed by reknowned architect Mies van der Rohe)
This was the first year of the Detroit Design Festival, and i really hope it becomes a recurring Detroit tradition! Can’t wait for DDF 2012!!! :)
