2026 ORT and the City
May 7, 2026 @ 6:30 PM – 10:00 PM EDT
The event consists of dinner served via a variety of food trucks, an open bar featuring signature cocktails, an art auction, and the opportunity to mingle with a diverse and dynamic crowd. The event attracts between 300-400 attendees each year from all over Metro-Detroit. Detroit and Detroit-connected artists are invited to participate in ORT’s art auction by creating an original piece in their specific medium based on the year’s art theme. Each artist is hand-selected by an artist sponsor who sponsors their participation. The art is auctioned via an online auction but exhibited at the event for all to see in person. You do not need to be present at the event to bid and win in the auction.
