// District VII
http://www.districtvii.com/

Micho Detronik and Kristine Diven

Their Beginning: District VII was structured on the perception that col­lab­or­a­tion between artists, musi­cians, tech­no­lo­gists, and aca­demia is the key ele­ment in cre­at­ing a rich cul­tural envir­on­ment for the dia­logue and con­cep­tion of tech­no­lo­gical art prac­tices.

Hours and Location:
2690 Wight St. Detroit, MI
Hours are by appointment, but it will be re-opened for Halloween!

Mission Statement: District VII will continually strive to cre­ate an atmosphere where art and tech­no­logy merge thus allowing people from diverse back­grounds to come together, col­lab­or­ate, and explore new dir­ec­tions and art practices. District VII is ded­ic­ated to show­cas­ing the work of tech­no­lo­gists, musi­cians, and artists alike.

Something Different: “Kristine Diven’s Rivertown warehouse would quickly drop the jaws of most Detroiters. Sitting dignified and still in the shadow of the old Stroh’s water tower, and a stone’s throw away from Atwater Brewery, the newly christened studio and gallery District 7 is all exposed brick and raw energy. Twenty-foot high ceilings and sprawling space welcome the most challenging and ambitious artistic endeavors. The unique patch of industrial real estate on the east side of town yearns for loud, abrasive noises to echo off its walls.”
