New nonprofit arts exhibition space to open in downtown Ann Arbor

A new nonprofit arts exhibition space called CLUSTER Museum will open on October 3 at 307 N. Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor. Co-founded by Thea A. Eck, Kim Debord, and Chien-An Yuan, the venue will focus on contemporary literary and visual arts, with a mission to build community by providing a physical hub for local and emerging artists. Its inaugural exhibition, “The Dam Broke: A Portrait on Tyranny,” runs from October 3–25 and features works by ten artists exploring fascism and authoritarianism, along with workshops, readings, and performances. All participating artists and writers will receive a stipend, and no submission fees are charged.
