"Tucked inside a former firehouse in the Eastern Market district, Wasserman Projects is a bold and visionary art space dedicated to contemporary creativity, community, and conversation. "

Review:★★★★★ Since its founding in 2015 by Detroit industrialist and art patron Gary Wasserman, the gallery has become a symbol of the city’s artistic rebirth. It showcases groundbreaking work in visual art, design, and music across 9,000 square feet of flexible exhibition space.
