ARTS & CULTURE

Arts and Culture

From the soul soaring sounds of music right here in Motown to artistic endeavors that make our city pop with vibrant imagery and color, the DPSCD Foundation is committed to providing students with diverse opportunities to explore and develop their creativity while fostering innovation and critical thinking. Arts and culture programming helps students hone technical skills, express themselves, and gain exposure to various principles and art history. We raise funds to support educational opportunities in the arts to cultivate and nurture the immense talent that resides in the hearts and minds of our students.
