DONATION | BATHROOM PROJECT CAMPAIGN
***UPDATE: Thanks to your generous support, we have been able to complete the accessible first floor restroom! The second first floor restroom repairs are well underway and it is now functioning. We could not have gotten this far without your support. The remaining funds raised will help renovate the second floor restroom and complete renovations to the second first floor restroom. Thank you! ***
We are asking for your help with a critical investment in Pewabic’s National Historic Landmark studio building.
Our public restrooms have long needed an upgrade, and because of a burst pipe and extensive water damage during the 2022 Christmas holiday, we have an opportunity to do just that! With an eye toward beauty and accessibility, we’re reconfiguring two older, inaccessible, cramped, dark restrooms into three bright, inviting all-gender spaces.
In addition to a more accessible layout, new fixtures and lighting, our design team has come up with plans to give each restroom its own unique personality – with Pewabic tile! As we work to transform Pewabic’s campus into a living embodiment of our mission – to enrich the human spirit through clay – these beautifully tiled spaces will enhance the experience for visitors to the pottery.
Your gift today will have double the impact. The Michigan Arts and Culture Council has awarded a $50,000 grant for this exciting project, but we need to match those funds with private donations.
Every gift counts! Your generosity will help ensure that Detroit’s pottery remains a vibrant cultural destination for generations to come.
