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.
