New Year is around the corner, and my monthly recap has reached December.<\/p>\n

This month I went to a couple of art galleries and studios in Detroit, among which Russell Industrial Center was beyond my expectation. I went there on an Open House night. Tons of art studios and music studios were open to the public whereas normally they are private spaces for the artists.<\/p>\n
