This retrospective features the prolific history of Detroit’s ceramic icon, Pewabic Pottery.

Focus groups identified non-burdensome ways that project partners were already collecting or could easily collect information to quantify and track impact. This feedback was developed into quantitative surveys that were administered via partners in 2018 and analyzed in early 2019. Forty one percent of City of Design partners collected or are planning to collect data related to their project’s impact. At this early stage of the work, event attendance and demographic data is easiest to collect, and only three partners were able to measure the impact of programming on changes in perspective, thoughts on participation, or building usage. An additional three partners collected data on investment or revenue from public and private sources. Data collection is ongoing. Wherever impact is cited within this report, it has been sourced via these partner data collection efforts. Interviews to inform the development of the three case studies were conducted in March, 2019, by EarlyWorks, llc. 2 DETROIT UNESCO CITY OF DESIGN | 2019 MONITORING REPORT By championing Detroit design, we contribute to the As a result, we are happy to announce that Detroit development of a thriving city that offers opportunities Creative Corridor Center has become Design Core for all.

  • Downtown Partnership with Skillman Library
    St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Opens Campus at Skillman Branch of Detroit Public Library for GED Tutoring November 12, 2012 - DETROIT -- The GED program of the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center has a new downtown address: The Skillman Branch of the Detroit Public Library. The new campus joins three others offering the Center’s free, individualized GED tutoring for adults 18 years and older. “St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center is delighted to launch this new partnership with the Skillman Branch of the Detroit Public Library,” said Diane Renaud, Executive Director/CEO, The Education Experience at St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center. “We share a unified purpose in helping our community through education and literacy. The Center is honored to collaborate in providing free adult education to the Downtown Detroit area and, in turn, making our City better together.” Renaud said the new campus is perfectly located -- providing better access along three major bus lines, Woodward, Grand River and Gratiot. It’s also near the Cadillac Center People Mover Station, Compuware Corporation Headquarters and Campus Martius Park. The Rose and Robert Skillman branch of the Detroit Public Library opened in 1932. Formerly called the “Downtown Library,” it was renamed to honor a generous gift from the Skillman Foundation. It currently houses the National Automotive History Collection, regarded as the nation’s premier public automotive archive. Joel Anyim, Manager of the Skillman Branch, agrees the collaboration with St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher is good for the library. “We are glad to promote and support programs aimed at increasing the literacy of our citizens, and providing them a chance at a better future,” he said.

  • Detroit, Michigan 48226
    ADVANCE PROGRAMS for Detroit Meetings of Theatre Library Association (Wednesday, July 7, 1965) and Music Library Association (Thursday and Friday July 8 and 9, 1965) This year it has been possible to work out a measure of coordination between the meetings of these two specialized associations concerned with the performing arts. The meetings are being held on successive days in Detroit's Cultural Center with headquarters in the Detroit Public Library's rebuilt and greatly enlarged Main Library at 5201 Woodward Avenue. There will be excursions to the opening night of the Meadow Brook Festival at Oakland University and to Ann Arbor for a day of meetings at the University of Michigan's new School of Music building. Details of the programs follow. Program chairman for the Theatre Library Association meeting is Barnard Hewitt of the University of Illinois' Department of Speech and Theatre. Program chairman for the Music Library Association meeting is Forrest H. Alter of the Flint Public Library's Art, Music and Drama Department. Local arrangements chairman for the two meetings is Kurtz Myers of the Detroit Public Library's Music and Performing Arts Department, assisted by William Hulsker of the Wayne State University General Library (Humanities Division) and William J. Weichlein, University of Michigan School of Music. It is hoped that we will have a good representation of our memberships at these meetings and that a substantial number of the librarians attending the American Library Association Conference in Cabo Hall, who are interested in the performing arts as an area for library service, will join us for some of our programs.

  • Freemasons and Speculators: Another Look at the Francophone Merchants of Detroit, 1796 to 1863
    FREEMASONS AND SPECULATORS: ANOTHER LOOK AT THE FRANCOPHONE MERCHANTS OF DETROIT, 1796 TO 1863 Jay Gitlin with S. Heath Ackley This conference, I think, marks a beginning—a serious attempt to reassess and acknowledge the French impact on the Detroit region. 1 Fifty years ago, in 1951, American Heritage magazine celebrated the 250th birthday of Detroit with a series of short historical articles. The usual cast of characters made their appearance: Cadillac, Pontiac—than quickly onward to Mayor Cobo and Walter Reuther. Raymond Miller, then Chairman of the Department of History at Wayne State, wrote a brief summary of Detroit's history. Not surprisingly, he described the first Detroit as having been born in 1701 and having died in 1805. The great fire of that year cleared the air—in his words, "the old Detroit was gone." The French village now began to give way to new buildings and institutions—Miller mentions the Masonic lodge as an example. New settlers from New York and New England swarmed in giving the city a vital infusion of energy and leadership. 2 Professor Melvin Holli, writing in the late 1970s, pursued such a theme in an article entitled "French Detroit: The Clash of Feudal and Yankee Values" and in his introductory essay to a documentary history of the city. Wrote Holli, "the French habitant culture [was not] able to withstand the invasion of the aggressive, literate, and 1 I want to thank the organizers of this conference for inviting me to be a part of this historical celebration. It is a great honor to be participating in a panel which includes such distinguished scholars as Professor Fernand Ouellet.
