About this museum

What is Kunsthalle Detroit?

Kunsthalle Detroit is a non-profit 501(c)(3) art institution that is focused on contemporary visual art that uses light as a medium. The institution was formed in 2009 in Detroit, Michigan by Tate Osten, who has stated that she chose light art because it shows how the 21st century has progressed with technology. Artist Tim White-Sobieski came up with the name for the institution and is meant to emulate European kunsthallen. The German word "kunsthalle" was also used to provide for wide and international access to the Midwest's "most blighted city" as to the new, fruitful grounds for arts and cultural development. The founders also proposed a plan for a Light Biennale called "Luminale Detroit". The plan eventually scaled down to a weekend of light artworks under the name "Delectricity". NewNowNext has credited Kunsthalle Detroit as being "one of only a few of its kind in the world". Kunsthalle Detroit is privately funded.
