Great atmosphere. The Scarab Club has many levels of intrigue. The host local and upcoming artists and showcase talent on many levels. Great art, beats and on special occasions there is good eats. The second floor really detail artists that have graced the doors of The Scarab. The rafters are full of history. Check it out for yourself.

As a wedding photographer I can highly recommend this venue if youre looking for something out of the ordinary. The garden is beautiful and full of history, while the inside is a beautiful gallery and a very unique space, one of our favorite venues for intimate weddings.

The Scarab Club is a must-see building in Detroit. There is always beautiful art inside, and it rotates frequently. But the building itself is also art... youll have to visit to understand! The employees and members are very kind and welcoming. Check it out!

I really enjoyed my time here. I havent been here in years so to see the place still up and running took me back to a better time. The art on display was excellent to say the least. I really enjoyed this piece.

Historic Scarab Club is a hidden Gem located behind the DIA open to the public and members. Attended concert with French Composer, Nicolas Bacri discussing his works performed by singers, pianist and strings. Wonderful informative evening. Memorable with so much impresive talent together.

Artists club founded in 1907. Unique historic building with multiple galleries, classes, music events. Has artist studios on the third floor. A must visit!

Art. Artist club and event venue in a beautiful old building hidden in plain sight. Consider yourself lucky if you get in. A real Detroit bucket list destination. I do wish that they could have a tiny speakeasy inside, but that is only because I am not artistic enough to get in as an artist.

Review №25

Went to a free event there which was neat. its always intrigued me, always wondered what its like on the inside. i think they hold free art shows from time to time, so its worth seeing if they are if youre heading to the DIA and want to stop in there first.im not really familiar with its history or purpose but id love to know more. the garden and exterior are so cool too

Review №26

A wonderful gallery and performance space, but its an old building and difficult to get around if you have mobility issues. Mens room on the second floor up a l-o-n-g flight of steps. Steps at every entrance. Good things happen here ... but think twice if youre gimpy.

Review №28

Great art gallery to stop by in the area. The art gallery is on the main floor and then the traditional Scarab club is upstairs. Beautiful building with nice and unique art. The display of art was mostly modern art when I visited. I thought it would have been cool if the garden had been open to visitors, but maybe its only for special occasions.

If there is anything like an public atelier in Detroit this is it. It is a bit of a secret source for fine art in Midtown. Their are musical quartets, life drawing classes, and regular exhibitions (both juried and group). Parking is along the parallel streets or in the lot for the DIA. They have membership opporunities but are warm to all visitors. A historical gathering place for Artist through Detroits history.

This is one of the most beautiful hidden Detroit gems! I have had the privilege of attending dances here over the last 5 years and every single time I go, I receive so many compliments on the pictures I post! They are more than willing to work with different groups to plan private parties and events and are fairly reasonable with their charges. I look forward to returning here soon! The only issue is that if you visit during the day or when the DIA has an event going on, parking can get tricky. Plan ahead!

An amazing piece of art history with such unique touches. The signatures of previous artists and the dates that they stayed here, gave me the chills! I cant wait to bring my artist son here for a tour!!!

Review №39

They showcase some really interesting pieces. There was no charge for entry when I stopped by, on my way back to the car after visiting the DIA, they do have a suggested donations of $5. The place is beautiful and is conveniently located between the DIA and the Michigan Science Center.Some of the artwork is not for small children, as it is definitely meant for adults so please be aware of it if you want to bring children.

Wow, what a place! The history of the place is incredible!We saw Shakespreare in Detroit there a few times, and it was amazing. :-) they have their own parking, so you dont even have to pay for that.Very nice place, great for theatric events. You should definitely get on their mailing list to see the events.

A Detroit must see experience. The lounge on the second floor has woodwork like a temple and lighting to boot. Look out for open studio days.

One of the coziest galleries in the city. Head to to the second floor and see how many artists signatures you can identify on the beams in the ceiling.

This often overlooked time capsule has seen more than a few great American artists pass through its doors, and the wood speaks their names. The hallowed halls are beautiful in their own right, with several gorgeous stained glass windows and wall to wall craftsmanship. The main gallery is hit or miss with its curations.

Theres not enough here to draw me into full participation. I havent been included in an exhibition in over a year, despite my on-going response to their Calls for Work. Nevertheless, im glad theyre always there, and I like their membership policies.
