Arts and culture in Detroit: central to our past and our future

Rip Rapson

Community Development Innovation Review, 2014, issue 02, 073-075

Abstract: Detroit should approach its challenges with unprecedented ambition. It will have to be smart?challenging preconceptions about what a city is supposed to look like and how it works. It will have to be bold?pursuing ideas that will strike some as outlandish and others as foolish. It will also have to be unflinching in its courage?bracing against forces that will not welcome such sweeping change. Anything less won?t be enough. Artists in Detroit are uniquely suited to help meet these challenges. They are instrumental in helping us see connections among the past, the present, and the future. They embody, embrace, and express the soul of the place. And they are fully engaged in creative placemaking? contributing tangibly and powerfully to energizing and animating our neighborhoods.
