about 15 years before returning, excited
by the city’s energetic renaissance.
Starting out with a Birmingham locale
allowed him to become acclimated to
the initiative, which moved to Detroit
last September.
“It was always the mission to be part
of the growing, creative community
in Detroit, but I went to Birmingham
when we started because I needed
to learn,” explains Wasserman, who
divides his time between Detroit,
Miami and New York.
“I had never had a gallery so it was
a very good set of logistics to be co-
located with Arkitektura. The idea was
never to be a conventional gallery; the
idea was always to be an exhibition
space, concert space and cultural venue
with a gallery function — and to be
part of the growing urban experience.”
Wasserman had a hard time finding
suitable quarters to meet his varied
goals so was pleased when a large,

100-year-old building became available
at Eastern Market. It had been used as
a maintenance garage and warehouse
and needed considerable refurbishing.
“Through all the vicissitudes of
Detroit’s existence, Eastern Market has
been one place that has been loved,
cherished and valued by people of
all races, creeds and cultures,” says
Wasserman, who serves on the board
of Eastern Market as well as musical
organizations, including the Ojai Music
Festival in California and the Knights
Chamber Orchestra in New York state.
“Eastern Market is a truly urban
experience where diversity of people
meets diversity of commerce, and to
be part of that neighborhood had so
much to do with what was attractive
about this entire project. The reward
of being in Detroit — and part of the
extraordinary excitement that gets
larger by the day — became the reason
to do this.”
