Join Us for an Evening of Culture, Community & Conversation

An invitation-only gathering bringing together the leaders, artists, educators, philanthropists, media professionals, and changemakers helping shape Detroit's creative future.

About the Gathering

Rather than another networking event, this evening is designed to create space for authentic conversations and meaningful relationships.

As TéMaTé prepares for this year's Convening, we're bringing together a thoughtfully curated group of individuals who are advancing arts, culture, education, philanthropy, and community throughout Detroit.

There won't be presentations.

There won't be formal networking activities.

Instead, there will simply be good people, meaningful conversations, and an opportunity to build new relationships with others who are passionate about strengthening Detroit's creative ecosystem.
