 About Detroit Focus
 

Detroit Focus, an artists' alliance, has served the Detroit art community since 1978. Its first gallery was established on Beaubien Street in Detroit's Greektown area. It has nurtured and established a generation of Detroit visual artists. The thousands of artists, whose work Detroit Focus has nurtured and exhibited, continue to be active members of the world community of artists and arts educators. To this day, Detroit Focus remains dynamic, vital and active. If you would like to support our efforts, please click here.
