The Carr Center

the Carr Center is a place where artists, across all disciplines, and community come together. We accomplish our mission through three core programs: the Carr Center Presents, the Carr Center Arts Academy and the Carr Center Contemporary. the Carr Center Presents… brings performing and visual arts to metro-Detroit. Our multi-disciplinary world class offerings feature national, regional and local artists of the highest caliber in their respective genres. the Carr Center Arts Academy is our arts education programming arm. We offer arts education and training in instrumental music, dance and musical theater. Through the Academy, the Carr Center offers both in school classes and multi-week summer intensive programs. Our youth education program offerings are primarily conducted through the Detroit Public Schools, Also under the Academy umbrella are professional development programs for early career visual and performing artists. Currently there are two such programs: the Independent Scholars Fellowship (ISF) and The Gathering Orchestra. the Carr Center Contemporary is the Carr Center’s newest program hub. The Contemporary consists of two spaces—the Carr Center Gallery is a dedicated space for the visual arts, and opening in late 2021, the Carr Center Performance Studio which will serve as a non-traditional performance and art venue and multidisciplinary rehearsal space.
