This year's Detroit Design Festival began with a kickoff party at The Fisher Building in the City's New Center neighborhood.

500 people RSVPed according to the event's organizer Matt Clayson, director of the Detroit Creative Corridor Center.

This weekend event-goers can expect to see a variety of art forms display throughout the downtown and midtown neighborhoods. Exhibitions include architectural panels in Lafayette Park, gallery shows in Eastern Market, window displays along Woodward Avenue and pop-up playgrounds for families.

"This is the cutting edge, globally relevant work that's going on in Detroit,' said Clayson. According to Clayson, the festival's goal is to provide an international venue for local designers.

"The idea is positioning that in a way that serves as an economic engine for the city and region."
