On Thursday, October 17, Council Member Raquel Casteneda-Lopez stopped by the Ford Resource and Engagement Center (FREC-Mercado) to spend some time with the Living Arts community. As members of District 6 (Casteneda-Lopez’s constituency) the Council Member gave an update on upcoming changes in Southwest and answered questions from our families.
The Council Member also stopped by to present a Spirit of Detroit Award to Living Arts! The award was presented in honor of 20 years of service to Detroit youth and the Southwest neighborhood. Director of Programs Erika Villarreal Bunce accepted the award on behalf of our staff, teaching artists, board members, students, and families.
We’re so proud to receive this significant recognition of our work! Thank you to Council Member Casteneda-Lopez and to the City of Detroit for their support of our work.
