Going Into Summer With So Much Gratitude!

Three months ago, school closures and social distancing created a $200,000 revenue gap that held the potential to impact our ability to serve Detroit's young people—and our community has come together in unprecedented ways to make sure that Living Arts could continue to support our youth and families throughout this crisis.

With support from generous individuals like you, local businesses, foundations, and federal funds from the CARES Act, you have helped us raise an incredible $175,158!!

Because of your generosity, Living Arts was able to compensate our Teaching Artists for the time they were scheduled to work when schools were closed and create a whole new suite of first-time digital programs, Living Arts At Home, to reach youth remotely with arts experiences to nurture their resiliency and social-emotional wellness.

With your support, encouragement, and participation in our adjustment to the virtual world, we are ending our program year on solid footing and excited about what the year ahead will hold for Living Arts and the youth we serve. We are energized and already reimagining all the ways our programs can keep young people safe while addressing their needs for creative self expression 

Living Arts couldn't have done this without you and we hope you feel great about your role in bringing joy and art into the lives of Detroit's youth!

Thank you!
