Detroit's historic Scarab Club has been dedicated to serving the public and Michigan artists of all disciplines for 100 years. The club accomplishes this mission through classes, lectures, exhibitions, special events, and tours. The Scarab Club strives to promote local artists, emerging and experienced. It also hosts a variety of educational and instructional events.

Works by Michigan artists are always on display in the galleries. Each year the club sponsors a photography exhibition, as well as the prestigious Gold Medal and Silver Medal exhibitions of painting and sculpture. The main gallery also hosts major state-wide juried exhibitions as well as local, individual and group shows. Member exhibitions are shown in the second floor lounge gallery.

The Scarab Club building, constructed in 1928, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a site of historical and architectural significance. The club features a main gallery, a spacious beamed lounge area with fireplace, artists’ studios, and a walled garden and courtyard. Over the decades the beams in the lounge have been signed by club presidents, supporters of the arts, and well-known local and international artists, such as Diego Rivera, Norman Rockwell, Marshall Fredricks, Marcel Duchamp and Tyree Guyton.

Galleries are open to the public from noon -5pm Wednesday thru Sunday and during evening and weekend hours for special events.

The Scarab Club is located at the northeast corner of John R and Farnsworth, just east of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Lighted parking is available in a secure lot behind the building. For further information please call 313-831-1250.
