David Klein Gallery, a prominent contemporary art space in Michigan, is relocating to a new 3,000-square-foot headquarters at 678 Livernois Ave. in Ferndale. The move consolidates its previous Birmingham and Detroit operations into a renovated warehouse with natural lighting and dedicated parking. A grand opening celebration is scheduled for July 11-12, 2025, featuring an evening reception with wine and music, followed by an open house and artist talk. The inaugural exhibition will showcase new works by Ferndale-based artist Susan Goethel Campbell and Detroit-based ceramicist Ebitenyefa Baralaye, with both shows running through August 23.
The expansion underscores Ferndale's emergence as a regional arts destination, with the gallery joining a growing creative corridor of restaurants, cafes, photography studios, and framing shops along Livernois Avenue. Since its founding in 1990, David Klein Gallery has built a national reputation through participation in major art fairs and placements in institutions like the Detroit Institute of Arts and Cranbrook Art Museum. The move signals confidence in Ferndale's cultural ecosystem and reinforces the gallery's role as a leading force in Michigan's contemporary art scene.
