About Season Fair

Season is part exhibition, part commercial art fair, featuring leading galleries alongside Detroit's most promising artists.

Our mission is three-fold:

  • Cultivate a dynamic marketplace for contemporary art, connecting world-class artists and exhibitors with collectors at every level—whether new, established, or emerging.

  • Provide a powerful platform for Detroit-based artists to connect with influential collectors, curators, galleries, and art critics representing the broader art world.

  • Support exceptional local galleries priced out of traditional art fair participation.

Season Fair traces its roots to Detroit Art Week, a citywide initiative launched in 2018 to celebrate Detroit-based contemporary artists, galleries, and cultural institutions. Organized by Detroit Art Week, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and produced by Olu & Company, the program presented two acclaimed editions in 2018 and 2019. While public programming has since concluded, its mission—to advance equity and access in the arts—lives on through a fundraising partnership with Season Fair.
