For those of you who may not know, HATCH Art Gallery was the former Hamtramck Police station. The old holding cell is now the “Jail Cell” gallery, a space for small exhibitions and installations. One of the interesting artifacts from the old days is a checkers/chess board that was painstakingly carved into one of the benches. I’m not certain what they used for game pieces, but I’m sure this was a much needed distraction.
