A gallery in Detroit for objects built slowly, shown deliberately, and made to live with.
About Us
Take Me Home is a gallery in Detroit's Little Village showing sculptural ceramics, collectible design, and limited-edition work. Housed at the Cadillac Arts Centre, the gallery presents a rotating program of exhibitions alongside an edited selection of work available to acquire.
The gallery sits within a neighborhood being shaped by a new generation of Detroit makers, galleries, and cultural spaces. Take Me Home contributes to that ecosystem with a program focused on material practice, handmade objects, and work built at a deliberate pace.
Programming moves through seasonal exhibitions, studio-led projects, and collaborations developed on site. Each show is conceived as both a presentation and an invitation — to look closely, to live with the work, to understand where and how it was made.
Meet the Founders
Take Me Home was co-founded by artists Jim Schatz and Peter Souza Jr. The gallery operates as an extension of their studio practices — a place for collaborative projects, solo presentations, and new work developed in and around Detroit.
Schatz has worked in ceramics for over two decades, building long-running series that move between functional object, sculptural lighting, and collectible design. His work has been recognized in the Financial Times HTSI and is held in private collections in the United States and abroad.
Souza is an artist, sculptor, designer, and builder. His recent work — including the Honcho 1986 ceramic series and the hybrid clay-and-wood totems developed with Schatz for Radical Presence — explores balance, chaos, and the imperfect arrangement of a life. Alongside his studio practice, Souza leads the Detroit design-build firm Peter Detroit and is a principal of J Schatz.
