Detroit
Month of Design
Sept 1 - 30

September is the month we celebrate the creative spirit and innovative environment that made Detroit a UNESCO City of Design. For the past several years Bedrock has sponsored and hosted a number of activations and 2023 is no different. See below and check back regularly for some exciting activations going on throughout the Detroit Month of Design
