On November 22, 2019, Living Arts' artists and staff joined hundreds of educators, parents, funders, and other change-makers for the 3rd Annual Hope Starts Here Celebration. Hope Starts Here is a movement initiated in 2016 stewarded by the W.K.Kellogg Foundation and the Kresge Foundation to:

1. create a vision for what early childhood can look like in Detroit

2. develop a framework for that vision and

3. inspire folks from all over the city to get involved and help bring that vision to life.
