BACKGROUND about Paxahau's new partner on the DEMF Design Contest. The 323 East group is owned by Mike McKool, who's a really progressive person in the city. He's done some incredible things over the past year in the city, including opening a very cool gallery, running successful local artist booths at various festivals, and also partnering with Detroit's favorite Funk Night (recently rated best party in America). Funk night has been running for 8 years, started by People's Records, and I'm not sure if their new partnership with McKool is to credit or its their new venue (the Russell Industrial Center), but in the past 4 months, they have exploded in size. Going from an average of 300-600 people per event to 1400 paid through the door this month.
I've been pleasantly and continuously surprised with the innovative and steady work McKool has been doing in this city, and I'm really happy he's partnered with Paxahau for the new branding of DEMF. It'll bring in a very diverse new blood of artists into the DEMF arena.
