Immersion Detroit: The Gallery Experience

“Immersion Detroit” (Sep 19 – Sep 21, 2025) is an immersive and interactive floral design event hosted by Graham Stanton Co, featuring over fifteen individual floral artists from Detroit and beyond. It offers a rare opportunity for guests to experience large-scale botanical installations up close—surrounded by color, scent, and texture at every turn.

The exhibition takes place on September 19 and 20, followed by an intimate Immersion Dinner on September 21, all within the vibrant context of Detroit Month of Design at PLAYGROUND DETROIT.

The Gallery Experience

In celebration of Detroit Month of Design, Immersion Detroit transforms the gallery into a large-scale Botanical Design Experience, in collaboration with local and regional floral designers. Each artist presents an original work or installation that reflects their unique creative language; together, these individual visions form an enveloping sensory environment—lush, atmospheric, and deeply alive.

We want visitors not just to look, but to walk through and become part of the floral world we build”

During open gallery hours, visitors wander at their own pace through the floral-art installations—each room unfolding as a new interpretation of nature in dialogue with design. Groups are timed to ensure that every guest enjoys a contemplative and high-quality experience.

By day, the gallery becomes a sanctuary of scent and scale; by evening, it evolves into a glowing maze of petals, stems, and color.
