  Russell Industrial Center is a historic Detroit landmark in the North End neighborhood that has evolved from automotive manufacturing hub to the largest art community in the Midwest.

Developer Dennis Kefallinos purchased the derelict complex in 2003 and transformed it into a creative campus housing more than 100 artists, artisans, and entrepreneurs across studios and workshops spanning over one million square feet. Today, Russell hosts concerts, cultural events, and private gatherings — with Building 6 serving as the primary event space — as the complex celebrates its centennial year of Detroit industry, arts, and culture.
