Membership
Why be a DAM Member?
Since 1932 DAM has operated on generous support from our community. This support allows us to provide you with a full schedule of quality exhibitions, special events, and artist opportunities. DAM membership provides opportunities for local artists to exhibit and sell their artwork, including juried exhibitions, the Elements Sales Gallery, and the Featured Artist wall. Join DAM today and become active in Detroit’s creative community! For more information, contact DAM at 313-832-8540 or info@detroitartistsmarket.org
Artist Members are invited to submit an application when a Call For Entry opens; this includes annual exhibitions such as Hot DAM! and Art for the Holidays, as well as other exhibitions and events during the year. Applicants are required to join as a member or renew to apply to open calls.
Elements Gallery is DAM’s gift shop, which features a wide range of artist member work—jewelry, ceramics, paintings, sculpture, and textiles. We review works on an ongoing basis and invite our Artist Members to submit work for consideration.
Visit our elements gallery page for more information and to apply.
DAM’s Featured Artist wall highlights a singular body of work from emerging DAM artist members. This space, located near the entrance, rotates to coincide with each new exhibition. Keep an eye out for the Call for the Wall for the opportunity to be DAM’s next Featured Artist!
