About THE Festival

More About The Festival

Instead of an impersonal mega-event, HNAF was created to offer a humble way to engage with artists on a more intimate level. Last year we had to cancel...for reasons.

This year, we are celebrating our city's centennial and all the history and creativity and community that makes Hamtramck what it is.

Keep checking back for more information, or keep up with us on our social media pages. If you have questions or would like to get involved in the planning shoot us an email at HamtramckNeighborhoodArtsFest@gmail.com.


The Hamtramck Neighborhood Arts Fest is a loosely curated showcase of artists, writers and musicians living in Hamtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. The Hamtramck Neighborhood Arts Festival takes place annually the second weekend in October.

Our goal is to activate the city’s indigenous talent and create a walkable, neighborhood-scale, art experience on porches, in houses, on sidewalks and storefronts.

Check out The UPcoming events

See last years events to get a taste for what you can look forward to...
Organized by ENDING time so if you want to hit them all...start at the top and work your way down.

6:00 pm
Open Gallery
George Rahme as George Rahme

9:00 pm

The opening reception for George Rahme. Here the subject is the spark like organic shapes that were taken from factory photos. This one small organic shape in this entire rigid, greasy, stinky, filthy place, and the beauty of something that comes out of it is what attracted him to the process.

to
Description
With this body of work, George Rahme focuses once again on the landscape of Detroit in the same respect to landscapes of Detroit and urbanization in the past. He finds an interest in the deconstruction of land and its parts, its occupation of space, subject, content, and is inspired to eliminate unnecessary space carefully and meticulously to reveal and align himself and his viewers with a particular subject. Here the subject is the spark like organic shapes that were taken from factory photos. This one small organic shape in this entire rigid, greasy, stinky, filthy place, and the beauty of something that comes out of it is what attracted him to the process. This body of work, which includes more than we see here, ended production in 2018. Soon after 2018 he began to see an image of self portraits emerge from this organic shape. Where this shape and concept will go is unknown for now. Not only are we focused on a single subject, but also the materials, process, aesthetic, and concept began to emerge reminiscent to that of his cultural belonging.
