UPDATE ON THE VIRTUAL ART PROJECT AT TURKEL HOUSE
Recently, LIBRARY STREET COLLECTIVE, a gallery in Downtown Detroit unveiled a virtual art exhibit inside our Frank Lloyd Wright home in Detroit. As a way to give back to the community, the gallery has pledged to donate 10% of sales to FREEDOM HOUSE in Detroit.
Freedom House Detroit is a temporary home for indigent survivors of persecution from around the world who are seeking asylum in the United States and Canada. Our mission is to uphold a fundamental American principle, one inscribed on the base of the Statue of Liberty, providing safety for those "yearning to breathe free."
Guided by our belief that all persons deserve to live free from oppression and to be treated with justice, compassion, and dignity, we offer a continuum of care and services to our residents as well as to other refugees in need. We advocate for systemic change that more fully recognizes the rights of asylum seekers.
Today I am pleased to announce that $10,000 has been donated to Freedom House by the Library Street Collective.
To view the virtual art exhibit which runs through February 13, follow this link
Library Street Collective
Library Street Collective specializes in cutting edge modern and contemporary art with a primary focus on artists who have developed their skills and visual art in public spaces.
