Cadillac Arts Centre

An ambitious adaptive reuse project transforming a vacant 25,000 square foot building at 1533 Cadillac into a vibrant hub for arts, culture, and community activity.

About Cadillac Arts Centre

Located at the corner of Cadillac and St. Paul, the CAC was designed by Detroit-based architectural firm M1DTW, in collaboration with Castor Design, and welcomes a dynamic mix of nonprofit organizations, artist studios, and creative spaces. Surrounding the building, the grounds were transformed into publicly accessible courtyards and greenspaces designed by OSD.

 

The CAC houses arts organizations such as InsideOut Literary Arts, Black Art Library, and a neighborhood-run ceramics studio, along with community organization the Villages CDC. An outdoor courtyard along St. Paul provides pedestrian access to Bowerbird Home, concept store + gallery Take Me Home, and neighborhood bookstore In Thicket. Similarly, the building includes more than 15 artist studios and creative workspaces.
