The Vision Detroit

A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2023 by layla mcmurtrie, alongside fellow creatives Dehvin banks and jai’la logan.

Our mission is to empower young artists of all disciplines by providing resources, opportunities, and a supportive community for creative growth. By bridging the gap between artists and the community, we foster artistic expression as a tool for personal development, mental wellness, and social impact in Detroit.

We envision a thriving and inclusive artistic community in Detroit where young artists have the support, space, and opportunities to flourish. By fostering creativity, connection, and professional growth, we aim to transform the city into a nationally recognized hub for emerging talent and artistic innovation.
