PAST EVENTS

KRESGE BACK TO SCHOOL SERIES

From August to October of 2023 we had four outdoor concerts filled with free workshops, free music & dance, and free food.

Varying from Detroit-style Dunham Dancing, Hispanic Heritage music and dance, Contemporary Classical music, and even Dive Bar Soul Music.

With guest appearances from our own Living Arts students to guests traveling far and wide like Phillip Michaels Scales.

The community had a blast and each event was truly a night to remember!

All thanks to the Kresge organization

The Event

In April of 2023, The Event was a gala-like event put on in honor of Living Arts’ partnership with Mike Manson’s show Rhythm of the Feet.

This night was filled with amazing food, catered by local restaurants, and filled with music and art all from Detroit local artists.

With everything from silent auctions, dancing, live performances, and more The Event was a night no one would forget.

On August 8, 2019, Living Arts’ Youth Dance Ensemble performed at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History after an intensive summer residency with master teaching artist, Penny Godboldo.
