Environment + Microclimates Preview Event | Boyer Campbell Building

Details

Environment + Microclimates is an immersive art experience showcasing environmental- and fiber-based art. Environment + Microclimates Preview Event Explore art that engages the senses in this dynamic and vibrating collaboration between leading botanical artist Lisa Waud, curator/artist Rosie Sharp, and Fiber Club*, a collective of fiber artists based in the Detroit area. Following a dynamic opening event on September 6, additional events and programming throughout the month will provide opportunities to engage with participating artists, collaborators, partners and organizations, within the exhibit at the Boyer Campbell Building. The Detroit Design District is home to many of Detroit’s most creative thinkers, artists and makers. It is situated in the Milwaukee Junction neighborhood, with the Boyer Campbell building, this event’s venue, at the core. The Detroit Design District, which is a place for creatives to bring their businesses, galleries, and passion projects with limitless opportunity for growth, is focused on making Detroit an international destination in the art world, and is funded in part by Method Development. Method Development reactivates old buildings and infuses them with the foundation they need to thrive. Fiber Club* was founded in October 2022 by fine artist and arts administrator Katie Shulman as a response to an expressed need among creative practitioners in southeast Michigan to organize around a shared interest in advancing fiber art processes and practices. Fiber Club* welcomes people of all backgrounds, identities and ages for skill-building workshops, exhibitions, educational initiatives, and monthly meetings which seek to develop craft-based knowledge and cultivate community centered around the exploration and promotion of fiber art.
