Lincoln Factory

Presenting Art Night Detroit x @lincolnfactorydetroit August 2025 Edition. This Wednesday 8/20 we’re bringing Live art, fantastic DJ’s, yoga, talented vendors and more to the Factory. Please bring an art project to work on or share with other guests the night of the event. Sunset yoga will start at 8:30PM in the Freezer, outdoor space, hosted by @gravityand.grace. Bring your own yoga mat as there will not be extras and will be necessary. We’re increasing the price to $10 to entry due to our increasing programming expenses and more. If this entry fee is prohibitive to joining the event please reach out via DM for a free ticket. (Please don’t abuse this). We distribute most of the funds on any given art night to the musicians, artists, and instructors with a small % retained by Art Night for future programming. @stay_within & @hazelnut.helpers.art.cart will be vending as usual accompanied by more vendors TBA. Event starts at 7:30pm and ends at 2am. Excited to see everyone creating in the same space this Wednesday ❤️🎨🔊
