Living Arts ignites creativity in the lives of Detroit youth through the performing, visual, and media arts.

We envision a future in which all youth have access to engaging, high-quality arts experiences, so that they can lead with confidence and empathy, drawing strength from their cultures and communities.

Our programming ranges from early childhood education to K-12 in-school artist residencies to robust afterschool arts and dance classes, and more. Living Arts prioritizes social-emotional learning and youth development. Our goal isn't to simply teach and develop artistic proficiency in our students; we empower them, we teach them to use their voices, and we set them up for success in arts and life.

Living Arts welcomes everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. We offer partial and full scholarships, with over 90% of our students receiving financial assistance.

This is only possible because of the dedication and support of corporate partners, foundations, and donors like you.

COMMUNITY

Our community-centric approach engages artists, staff, board members, and the community, fostering diverse perspectives within the organization.

Living Arts prioritizes community involvement by offering leadership opportunities for community members through Parent and Teen Councils.
