$30,000 for our 30th Anniversary

After 30 years, Planet Ant continues to flourish as a creative epicenter for artists in Metro Detroit.

Be a part of its future.

In honor of our 30th anniversary, we’re working to raise $30,000 by April 30, 2024. Funding from the campaign will go directly to supporting our community of artists as well as the maintenance and improvement of our spaces, programming, and training offerings.

Can we do it? (scroll for answer)

Yes…and we need your help to make it happen!

(I know. I know.)

Since opening as a coffee shop in 1993, Planet Ant has become a creative epicenter in Metro Detroit — a home where a colony of creatives explores the limits of their comedic and artistic expression.

Today, our complex spans five venues, stages, and places for our colony of artists:

  • Ant Hall 

  • The Black Box (The original Purple Building)

  • The Independent Comedy Club

  • Planet Ant stage @ Ghost Light Bar

  • Planet Ant Studio (formerly 7 Brothers Bar)

In the last 30 years, these stages have hosted thousands of performances — improv and burlesque, stand-up and space operas, musicals and music festivals, and so much more. Planet Ant is proud to provide creative professional opportunities for a diverse community of local and visiting artists.

Help develop creative talent and an artistic community in Hamtramck, Michigan.

Planet Ant strives to foster the Metro Detroit arts scene, offering a community for aspiring artists to discover their creative voices, a training program for growing artists to hone their craft, and a proving ground for artists who have the potential for national and international acclaim.

If you believe in the importance of local art and creative safe spaces, please consider contributing to our fundraiser to sustain Planet Ant for generations to come!
