Why?
We created Project ABC because we believe Detroit's young people deserve more opportunities to be seen, heard, celebrated, and inspired.
Detroit is full of talented kids.
There are young singers, dancers, artists, poets, writers, musicians, entrepreneurs, creators, and dreamers all across our city. But talent needs more than applauseβit needs opportunity, encouragement, safe spaces, and people willing to believe in it.
That's where Project ABC comes in.
Through Project ABC, we want to create a space where young people can:
β¨ Explore their creativity
π€ Share their talents
π€ Meet other young creators
π Build confidence
π Be inspired
π Feel supported by their community
This isn't about finding the "best" kid in the room.
It's about giving young people the opportunity to discover what they're capable of.
Maybe this is someone's first time performing.
Maybe it's someone's first time sharing their art with an audience.
Maybe it's the moment a young person realizes:
"Wait... I actually can do this."
And maybe years from now, we'll look back and say:
"They performed at Project ABC before the world knew their name."
That's the vision.
π Bring your creativity. Whether you're performing, participating, or cheering someone else on, come ready to have fun and express yourself.
π Support every performer. Clap, cheer, and encourage the young people brave enough to share their talents.
π€ Be kind. Treat other attendees, performers, parents, volunteers, and staff with respect.
π¨ Participate! Get involved in activities, meet new people, and enjoy the experience.
π¨βπ©βπ§ Parents & guardians, stay involved. Help us create a positive and safe environment for all young attendees.
