Metro Detroit's Best Vintage Artist's Market and Unique Event Space. The intersection of creativity and business. It is an inspiring destination dedicated to nourishing small businesses owned by Michigan artists and collectors. It also offers a 4,000 sq. ft. event space in the center of the market, where everything from weddings to charity fundraisers are held. The Rust Belt Market is a shopping experience unique to the Metro-Detroit area and much of the US as a whole. Located in a once defunct big-box store, The Rust Belt is a retail heart-throb buzzing with creativity--more specifically, Michigan makers and collectors. With fifty independent shops to choose from (surrounding a 4,000 square foot event space), The Rust Belt will keep you exploring with fascination and engaged with artists. Bring the family or plan a date. Locally roasted coffee, handmade goods, art, furniture, vintage wears, delectable sweets and oddities await you. All independently owned and operated, just like The Rust Belt itself!
