Explore a unique opportunity as an artist to showcase your work at the Crain Communications headquarters in Detroit. Located on the top floor of the Brewery Park Campus, owned by Crain, our office at 1155 Gratiot Ave. offers an exceptional venue for your art. As a global media company with offices worldwide, including Chicago and New York, Crain has 20+ industry-leading brands in its portfolio and 750+ employees.
Artists are invited to submit up to five pieces for consideration, with a special emphasis on larger works – a chance to make a profound statement on our expansive walls! Encouraging sizes like 24×36, 36×36, 48×48, and beyond, we also welcome smaller works.
This continuous opportunity welcomes artists of diverse sizes, mediums, and skill levels, offering a platform to exhibit your artwork for a three-month duration. This program is led by our Facilities & Office Services department in partnership with Amanda Koss, Detroit-based artist and program curator. Applications are reviewed for the upcoming rotation with available slots, and artists will be notified as their turn approaches.
Periodically, Crain Communications purchases artwork from the rotations which is placed throughout our offices nationwide. We have art from Detroit Artists in Grand Rapids, Chicago, Bowling Green and expanding! Employees also shop the work as well as visitors, media and other guests. Artists and their work are shared throughout the company, worldwide which can be viewed here.

Why an application fee? Organizing and curating involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work, including reviewing subscriptions for submissions, marketing, managing logistics, and coordinating with artists and venues. Submission fees help cover these operational expenses, especially when curators are working independently or with limited budgets.
