RSVP Below for LOVE@NITE: The LOVE Building Three Year Anniversary!
Join us for a special LOVE @ Nite: Anniversary Edition on Thursday, September 3, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM as we celebrate 3 years of The LOVE Building. This month’s gathering honors the legacy, creativity, collaboration, and community that have made 4731 Grand River a home for artists, entrepreneurs, creatives, and neighbors.
The evening begins at 5:00 PM with a Tenant Partner-Wide Open House, inviting guests to explore The LOVE Building through self-guided tours and visit the organizations that call the building home. Meet tenant partner staff, learn about their work and impact, and hear what they’re looking forward to in the year ahead. This will be the evening’s only opportunity for building tours.
Guests will also experience the opening reception for An Ode to 4731, a group exhibition honoring The LOVE Building’s legacy and the people who have helped shape its story.
Throughout the night, DJ Sheezy Bo Beezy will set the soundtrack for an evening filled with music, movement, and connection. Live programming will include the Manila Bay Showcase, featuring poets, comedians, and belly dancers, along with activations and performances from our CONTAINER Season 2 residents.
Come hungry and enjoy food from YumVillage, Ice Cream Detroit, and Shell Shock’d Tacos as we gather to celebrate three years of The LOVE Building and the community that continues to bring it to life.

Building Policies
Fragrance-free Policy
Please help us maintain a space that is as scent-free as possible for members of our community who become sick when exposed to chemical fragrances. If you are coming to work at the LOVE Building or to attend an event, please avoid using shampoo, cologne, detergent, fabric softener, etc. that is scented. Read more from Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha about why going scent-free is an act of love for disabled communities.

We are modeling an approach to accessibility that is rooted in love and hospitality, while countering the pervasive ableism of our world. We work to make our space usable and welcoming to people with disabilities and others who are often excluded from social justice organizing.
All entrances are barrier-free with automatic door operators.
All 5 floors of the LOVE Building are accessible by elevator.
Tactile maps are available for each floorplan.
All cleaning products and hand soaps are fragrance-free.
