Another new business is opening on Ferndale’s Livernois Avenue, a formerly industrial stretch that has seen a flurry of activity in recent years.
David Klein Gallery says it’s consolidating its Birmingham and Detroit exhibition spaces and relocating to 678 Livernois Ave., a space that it has been using as a warehouse. The gallery says it is renovating the 3,000-square-foot building with a target opening in 2025.
The move means the gallery will close its Detroit and Birmingham locations.
“I am thrilled to announce the relocation of the David Klein Gallery to 678 Livernois in Ferndale,” owner David Klein said. “With Ferndale’s art district emerging, we know our presence there will help elevate the area. Since we already owned the building, and we didn’t own in Birmingham and Detroit, it makes sense to consolidate in this central location.”
Klein continued, “This will be a very special space for our artists, collectors, and visitors to enjoy. And while we loved our time in Birmingham and Detroit, we are really excited about the burgeoning Ferndale area with restaurants, cafes, galleries, photography and framing studios, and other complimentary businesses. It’s a perfect fit for us in today’s art scene.”
The new gallery is located near other businesses that have opened on the stretch in recent years, including the Ferndale Project, Witch House Tattoo, Secret Bakery, the Catfé Lounge, and others. It’s also not far from the historic Baker’s Keyboard Lounge in Detroit.
The David Klein Gallery says its Detroit location, which it launched in 2015, will close on Saturday, Dec. 21, while its Birmingham space, opened in 1990, will close in Spring 2025.
