Affirmations recognizes we have a responsibility to preserve, incubate, and elevate the creativity of our community by providing space, visibility, and opportunity for LGBTQ+ artists and culture-makers.

Affirmations supports the vibrant arts and culture community of Southeast Michigan by creating space for music, digital media, cinema, open mics, and visual art. Art has long been central to how LGBTQ+ communities share stories, build connection, and express pride. As a hub for LGBTQ+ culture, Affirmations welcomes community members, artists, and allies into a space designed for gathering and celebration. Visitors are invited to explore the Pittman-Puckett Gallery, shop artist markets, or attend cultural and community events throughout the year. Throughout the year, Affirmations hosts queer craft, merchandise, and fashion vendors through a variety of low-barrier markets that remain accessible to both artists and community members. Whether you are coming to view an exhibition, experience live music or film, share your voice at an open mic, or support queer-owned businesses, Affirmations offers a space where creativity, identity, and community meet.
