Located in Detroit’s East Village, the Shepherd is a one hundred ten-year-old Romanesque-style church that has been transformed into a cultural arts center with multi-faceted programming focused on exhibitions, public projects and performance. The adaptive reuse of the church, led by the architectural design firm Peterson Rich Office (PRO), has created gallery spaces, a public library, and a workshop space for the local community. The campus grounds, include a boutique bed and breakfast, a public skatepark, and a sculpture park honoring the late Detroit artist Charles McGee. Spend an hour and a half on a self-guided visit walking the grounds, checking out the gallery, and just getting a lay of the land of “The Next Big Thing In Detroit”.
