Bank Suey is a comm

unity space located in the heart of Hamtramck, at the corner of Joseph Campau and Caniff. We host layered programming-- a combination of unique events along with other organizations that call Bank Suey home. We host come-as-you-are workshops, talks and events that bring people together. We’re also home to Book Suey and the Be a Good Neighbor Project. What’s happening in the space is different every day. So far, we’ve produced and partnered on 55+ gatherings hosting 2,500+ attendees. Our programming covers a broad range of topics unified by a purpose: to build skills, understanding, and confidence resulting in citizen involvement and greater community wealth. We're exploring new ways to fill main street spaces-- with the goal of adding to the walkability and vibrancy of Hamtramck the way that more traditional storefronts have been able to. Hours
We are excited to host a member-owned, co-op book store as our permanent tenant! Book Suey is open Wednesdays & Fridays 6-9p, Saturdays & Sundays 12-7pm. Visit Booksuey.com for more info. History of the Building
