City Bird is a store, studio and gallery located at 460 W. Canfield St. between Cass and Second, in the Cass Corridor in Midtown, Detroit. We are steps away from Bureau of Urban Living, Traffic Jam and Snug, and Motor City Brewing Works. We carry our house lines of Detroit-themed housewares, accessories and paper goods as well as work by more than 75 other artists and designers. We feature work from Detroit and other Rust Belt cities.

City Bird was founded in 2005 by siblings Andy and Emily Linn. After building their business by selling their work online, at fairs and through other retailers for four years, they opened the W. Canfield store, studio and gallery in November of 2009. The Linns grew up in the near East Side of Detroit and currently reside in Woodbridge.

Emily holds a BA and BFA from the University of Michigan where she studied fine art and art history. She received an MFA in fine art from Wayne State University and works in the art studio at the Detroit Institute of Arts. emily@ilovecitybird.com
