Russell Industrial Center, Creative complex in Detroit, United States.
Description
The Russell Industrial Center occupies seven connected buildings that house studios and commercial spaces for artists and small entrepreneurs. These spaces vary widely in size to accommodate different types of creative and business operations.
History
Albert Kahn designed this industrial complex in 1915 for the Murray Body Corporation, which manufactured automotive bodies for Ford. The facility later transformed into a creative hub as manufacturing shifted away from the city.
Culture
Over one hundred artists and small businesses work and create here across multiple studios. The space hosts monthly events where makers and local merchants share their work directly with visitors.
Practical
The complex is open around the clock with secured parking available for visitors. Stopping at the main entrance helps with directions and information about current events or group visits.
Did you know?
Abundant natural light flows through the buildings via large windows, preserving the original industrial character. This balance between old industrial design and contemporary creative work attracts artists seeking authenticity.
