This season, College for Creative Studies and Bedrock are transforming downtown with “Windows on Woodward,” a festive storefront gallery for everyone to enjoy.
Select Bedrock retail tenants along Woodward Avenue, including Born in Detroit, Bonobos, The Lip Bar, 6 Salon and Woodhouse Day Spa, have collaborated with CCS students to design and unveil custom holiday window displays.

“Windows on Woodward is where imagination, craftsmanship and creativity meet community,” said Rhonda Rouse, Senior Manager, Tenant Experience at Bedrock. “As part of the holiday season in downtown, our festive, walkable window showcase amplifies Detroit’s next generation of talent as they shape the city’s future.”

Each window is a collaboration between student designers and the retailers, merging professional mentorship with real-world experience and bringing fresh, local talent to one of Detroit’s most iconic corridors.

“This project gave our students invaluable hands-on experience in design collaboration, project management, and fabrication,” said Shannon McPartlon, Executive Director of The Office of Partnerships at CCS. “We are grateful to Bedrock for their partnership and the opportunity to be part of this historic moment. The results are truly representative of what CCS students are capable of achieving when they apply their talents to a real-world, high-profile challenge.”
