Living Arts is back. And we're built different.

Our deliberate pause gave us an opportunity find clarity. We are listening and we continue to repair and reimagine what a youth arts organization rooted in Southwest Detroit, that serves all of Detroit should actually look like.

Reconnect. Reimagine. Rebuild. (R3)

Are we building something that lasts?

Every program we launch, every partnership we build, every dollar we steward runs through this lens and in adjacentcy to our mission. Are we deepening community trust? Are we creating space for voices that haven't been centered?

If the answer is yes — we are moving in the right direction.

Young people in Detroit deserve arts education that meets them where they are and prepares them for where they're going. Detroit deserve an organization that is transparent, mission-driven, and accountable to the community it serves.
