DEYA: Detroit Excellence in Youth Arts

Detroit Excellence in Youth Arts (DEYA) serves as a catalyst for cross-sector collaboration to ensure all youth have equitable access to Detroit’s rich cultural legacy and the transformative power of the arts. Centering Black and Brown youth, DEYA convenes the city’s youth arts sector to create greater collective capacity – in schools and in the community – to support Detroit youth in finding their voice; developing social emotional learning and transferable workplace skills; and forging pathways to post-secondary education, creative careers, and economic mobility through the arts. Designed to support rather than compete with existing youth arts providers in and outside of school, DEYA aims to create a thriving Detroit youth arts ecosystem where arts opportunities are equitable, accessible, inclusive and sustainable. By serving as a conduit between Detroit’s youth arts providers and local, regional and national stakeholders, DEYA creates seamless pathways for resources to flow from large-scale funders to even the most grassroots community groups. DEYA also seeks to solve the large-scale, citywide challenges other organizations can’t, leveraging its research capacity and close public sector partnerships to advocate for a more connected, equitable, and accessible Detroit. DEYA’s four key strategies are: Catalyzing Collective Impact Networks to amplify and empower youth arts providers, arts educators, teaching artists, and youth artists; Developing Citywide Systems and Infrastructure to eliminate the barriers to youth arts participation for Detroit youth and families; Creating Collaborative Platforms to uplift the work of youth, youth arts providers, teaching artists and arts educators; and Driving Advocacy and Investment to promote youth arts’ essential role in education, youth development, and workforce development, and to unlock new resources to ensure the youth arts sector’s long-term vitality.
