<div>The demolition of the vibrant and historic MBAD corner building marks the beginning of a new chapter for the MBAD African Bead Museum.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your incredible support and solidarity, we are ready to embark on the Rebuild phase of our project, bringing our carefully developed engineering plans to life after the completion of <a href="https://loharchitects.com/now/dabls-african-bead-museum-phase-one-renovation-completed?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1tb568tk2Q79hiXCWBcD7vN9i2F8KFf0uMGblY-2gzZa9e1SdDpmElFbE_aem_DfzuWypSWtap0OR741IMRQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">phase 1 renovations which took place in 2019</a> which launched the new Gallery and Community Space
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our goal is to rebuild the MBAD African Bead Museum and expand its grounds, to create a dedicated space for Dabls' exceptional and extensive collection of African artifacts. Your contribution will help ensure these invaluable pieces have a permanent home where they can be preserved, displayed, and appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Join us in bringing this important cultural space to life, making it a vibrant venue for African-based exhibitions and arts education programs for local children and community groups. The new building will also provide a fresh canvas for Dabls and the community to create new murals, continuing the tradition of the vibrant and culturally relevant art we all cherish.

<div><strong>Rebuild Goals:</strong>
</div>
<div>* <strong>Reconstruction and Expansion</strong>: Rebuilding the museum to create a functional and inspiring venue for exhibitions and educational programs.
</div>
<div>* <strong>Programmable Public Space</strong>: Developing an enclosed area for gatherings, exhibitions, school tours, and educational workshops.
</div>
<div>* <strong>Visiting Artist Residence</strong>: Establishing a dedicated space for visiting artists, fostering creativity and cultural exchange.
</div>
<div>* <strong>Expanded Administration Space</strong>: Creating additional space for a larger museum administration team, enhancing our operations and allowing us to better serve the community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The MBAD African Bead Museum is uniquely positioned as a cultural institution deeply rooted in our neighborhood. This expansion will serve as a cultural anchor, connecting Detroit’s booming Downtown and Midtown to the West Side, including Artist Village, The Redford Theatre, and The University of Detroit, Mercy.
</div>
<div>Our vision is to build an integenerational art program designed to increase connectivity across cultures and generations through storytelling and cultural memory sharing. By creating a viable museum space, we will be able to better serve our community and preserve our cultural heritage.
</div>
<div><br />
