We are dedicated to uplifting the music community. Through our activations that we call CIPHERS, we connect musicians to resources and information to develop in their careers through professional develop and networking opportunities, and we connect people and communities to music through diverse live music performances.

Live Music Concerts

  • Our live music activations are our place-keeping initiatives where we activate cultural dead zones with something you can feel — a diverse lineup of live music, connecting communities to quality live music and musicians to communities. This can be currently seen through our annual Black Bottoms Live Music Series on the Campbell Terrace Pavilion on the Dequindre Cut, and our recurring live performances in partnership with Detroit City Distillery in Eastern Market in Detroit.

Networking the Musician’s Way

  • Intimate gatherings where musicians of all disciplines and skill levels exchange energy and network through our open jam sessions and ciphers. These experiences give listeners an opportunity to be inside of the music, and connects musicians to their supporters and one another in unique and exciting ways.

Masterclasses

  • In-studio sessions with established music artists; an intergenerational learning experience for emerging artists. These intimate conversations with established artist serves as career and cultural training. Topics include a deep look into their process, lived experiences, and building independent music careers.

Peer-to-Peer Learning

  • We explore the collective voice, providing artists opportunities to sharpen their skills, obtain valuable feedback from their peers, think more critically about their work, and foster potential collaborations.

Shared Learning & Professional Development

  • Panel discussions and workshops where artists and musicians learn practical action steps and best practices to developing and advancing their careers.

In addition to our ciphers, we offer MUSIC SOLUTIONS to corporate business and music artists.
