The Black Rock Arts Foundation is proud to partner with Motor City Blight Busters in the creation of The Temple of the American Dream in Detroit's Brightmoor neighborhood. The Detroit Dream Project is a collaborative effort to jumpstart the revitalization of this historic section of the city through interactive art. The pavilion, built entirely by volunteers, will act as a welcoming shelter for community gatherings, children’s arts camp, outdoor music and poetry readings, and neighborhood social activities. Sheltered by more than 40 trees, the temple acts as a central focal point for the community's dreams of the future for the neighborhood.

Keep up to date with the project's progress on BRAF's blog, or at the Detroit Dream Project's website.
