Invest in Lifelong Creative Growth
Your support makes intergenerational, walkable art education accessible to everyone in our community. Help us create spaces where creativity thrives.
Why Your Support Matters
Intergenerational Learning
We bring together kids, teens, adults, and elders in shared creative spaces. Each generation's strengths help overcome another's challenges, creating a rich learning environment for all.
Supporting Teaching Artists
Through RESIDE residencies, we provide teaching artists with free space, mentorship, and resources to develop their practice, empowering them to lead transformative community-led learning experiences.
Walkable Neighborhood Access
Our brick-and-mortar hub and partnerships with local spaces create accessible, walkable art education throughout Detroit, no long commutes or transportation barriers.
Unique Creative Opportunities
From our professional Dolby Atmos spatial audio studio to sustainable fashion initiatives, we provide access to specialized facilities and learning experiences not available elsewhere.
"It's one thing to take a workshop. It's another to be surrounded by an ongoing intergenerational community of supporters that inspire you and spur you on, through the ups and downs, over the course of your creative life."
