About Detroit rePatched
Detroit rePatched is Live Coal Gallery's future arts-infused greenspace and art hub in Detroit's Brightmoor neighborhood. It is founded by Detroit-based artist, Yvette Rock. Detroit rePatched has three main concepts that will be initiated over the course of two years:
rePatching Land (Art + Land)
- Supporting gardens, landscape design, creative play spaces, public art installations, and outdoor performances (traditional & experimental).
- Stewarding the land in healthy ways in order to support a healthy ecosystem and environment.
rePatching Connectivity (Art + People)
- Connecting neighbors with our project and each other.
- Inviting neighbors to help design project.
- Partnering with local organizations (schools, non-profits, churches, etc.) and businesses for mutual support.
rePatching Houses (Art + Houses)
- Working with the City of Detroit and their Land Bank program in order to renovate existing structures that may serve as future residencies and/or project sites.
- Supporting clean and safe blocks in our neighborhood by helping neighbors with their homes.
