Season is a Detroit-based 501(c)(3) contemporary art fair and cultural initiative dedicated to building a sustainable creative economy for artists, galleries, and cultural workers. Founded and directed by Amani Olu, Season takes a market-driven approach to cultural development — focusing not only on artistic production but on activating the demand side of the art ecosystem.
