Magic of Art in Palmer Park (MAPP)

Free Community Art-making Program
Picture
We know Palmer Park inspires walkers and bikers and gardeners. Now it will inspire the creativity of visitors young and old with a series of free artist-led workshops geared toward sparking the magic and artistic spirit within us all.

One of our newest programs, Magic of Art in Palmer Park (MAPP), was funded by a Community Development Advocates of Detroit (CDAD) placemaking grant to People for Palmer Park (PFPP). Along with the Palmer Park Art Fair's return to Detroit, it helped identify Palmer Park on the 'MAPP' as a place for creating and enjoying art in the park.

Some of the MAPP ongoing program goals:
  • Create art installations that will remain in and beautify Palmer Park, as well as draw more people into the Park to delight in the art;
  • Inspire local residents to experience the creative spirit or artist within themselves;
  • Engage artists and creatives in Palmer Park’s revitalization;
  • Enhance the beauty, place-making, safety, and community that already has developed in Palmer Park.
