40 | DECEMBER 12 • 2024 J N OUR COMMUNITY D avid Klein Gallery announced the 2025 opening of its new gallery at 678 Livernois Ave. in Ferndale. The location, currently under renovation, will provide a modern, airy, naturally lit space for art exhibitions. The gallery’s Birmingham and Detroit locations will close as the Ferndale loca- tion will serve as its primary exhibition space. The announcement was made by gallery owner and founder David Klein. The new location, which has func- tioned as the gallery’s warehouse, has its own parking lot, and will feature a spa- cious, contemporary interior, with 3,000 square feet of exhibition space. “I am thrilled to announce the relo- cation of the David Klein Gallery to 678 Livernois in Ferndale, ” Klein said. “With Ferndale’s art district emerg- ing, we know our presence there will help elevate the area. Since we already owned the building, and we didn’t own in Birmingham and Detroit, it makes sense to consolidate in this central loca- tion. ” As a leading Midwest gallery, and the only Detroit-based member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), David Klein Gallery has par- ticipated in the nation’s most prestigious art fairs in New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles to help advance its artists. The new Ferndale endeavor is another exciting chapter. “This will be a very special space for our artists, collectors and visitors to enjoy, ” Klein continued. “ And while we loved our time in Birmingham and Detroit, we are really excited about the burgeoning Ferndale area with restau- rants, cafes, galleries, photography and framing studios, and other compli- mentary businesses. It’s a perfect fit for us in today’s art scene. ” The Detroit location will close on Saturday, Dec. 21, and Birmingham will close in Spring 2025. Christine Schefman will continue as David Klein Gallery director and Haley Roberts as assistant director and registrar. David Klein Gallery has been a celebrated gallery in Birmingham since 1990, with Klein serving as a notable steward in the city’s art district with an exhibition program focusing on presenting national and regional contemporary artists. Since its founding, the gallery has maintained a strong interest in Post War and Contemporary art. It opened its Detroit location in 2015 on historic Washington Boulevard for large-scale exhibitions of paintings, sculpture, photography and installations. After years in Birmingham and Detroit, the gallery will relocate to a new exhibition space in a beautifully renovated warehouse.
