Brilliant Detroit Grand Opening Wednesday August 18th
It’s been years in the making, but despite slowdowns and setbacks – bureaucratic red tape, COVID restrictions, and flooding – Brilliant Detroit is finally able to welcome the community into its beautifully renovated house at 5050 Balfour on Wednesday, August 18 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Residents will be amazed at the transformation that Brilliant Detroit, in partnership with Detroit Creative Design Collective (DCDC), has created. Starting with a Land Bank house that had been totally obscured by trees, shrubs, and weeds, they have created a beautifully furnished home sure to create more than a little “house envy.” To celebrate the opening there will be face painting, a train for kids, games, free food samples, and information tables with community and health resources.
The Brilliant Detroit house will be the perfect setting in which to fulfill their mission of creating “kid success neighborhoods.” It will be a community meeting space hosting a variety of programs, including tutoring, arts and crafts, physical activities like Zumba and yoga, resources for new moms, GED classes, and help for people seeking jobs.
Residents are encouraged to stop by and check out this wonderful new asset to our neighborhood. But be forewarned – you may want to move in!
