Spearheaded by Derek Weaver of 3731 Gallery in 2011, the project is a product of many volunteer artists, from Detroit and around the world. Collectively, they are working towards the transformation of Detroit’s infamous Grand River Avenue into a creative hub that is attractive to tourists, artists, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors.
