As flavor of the month galleries have come and gone, River’s Edge Gallery has stayed the course.

Our gallery is committed to promoting local and regional artists on a global scale. We feature prominent well known artists  from Detroit and the region as well as emerging artists. The gallery promotes artists, not art. The artists that are represented  at our gallery come from a wide range of backgrounds from traditional to outsider and everything in between.

River’s Edge Gallery has been an important presence on the Metro Detroit art scene for over 30 years. It all began when the  late Jim Slack and his wife, Patt, relocated to the Detroit Area. Both had traveled and lived in artist colony type habitats.  This post industrial area felt like home and in fact was for Patt who grew up in Wyandotte, also known as “downriver”. It sits  on the shores of the Detroit River where you can view downtown Detroit from its shore.
