Each year, in collaboration with the local band Toboggan Man, étude puts on an epic winter rock festival called Sled Season that brings together the Detroit Indie Music scene, highlights local vendors, and shows off artists across many genres.

In alignment with our nonprofit programming, the proceeds of this show are used to fairly reimburse all artists involved. Sled Season 2026 will see an exciting lineup of classes and workshops, an interactive art installation, live performances, local artisanal and food vendors, and, back by popular demand, our themed photoshoot experience by LadyRed Photos.

This one-day winter festival is a celebration of art, music, and community. After two successful runs, we are excited about the chance to bring this event to the Tangent Gallery on February 7, 2026.

étude began with one mission, to create a stronger community for independent performers and creators. étude believes there are better and more sustainable practices to uplift and invigorate a new generation of artists. The solution is a company, built by and for, project-based performing artists ready to pursue professional careers in the field. | www.etudeproduction.org
