Local nonprofit Sidewalk Detroit has been supporting the community through artistic initiatives for more than a decade.
The organization's 10th annual Sidewalk Festival is taking place Aug. 1-2, at Eliza Howell Park. The biannual arts and culture celebration features a mixture of music, dance, performance art, interactive installations, and community-driven workshops deeply rooted in social justice.
Sidewalk Detroit also offers an "Earth Futures Fellowship" as part of the festival, which supports local artists who are focused on environmental justice and community action initiatives.
This year, Earth Futures is introducing a storm water education campaign, including multiple hands-on learning opportunities about rainwater collection and remediation, access to clean water in urban environments and more.
To talk more about this year's festival and fellowship, Sidewalk Detroit's 2025 Artist in Residence, Maya Davis, and Program Director Augusta Morrison joined The Metro.
Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on-demand.
