The Shepherd, situated in Detroit's East Village neighborhood, stands as a grand Romanesque-style church converted into a vibrant cultural arts center by the Library Street Collective co-founders Anthony & JJ Curis. The adaptive reuse, expertly crafted by Peterson Rich Office, preserves the church's original architectural charm while introducing modern gallery spaces, a public library, and ample community workshop areas.
The Shepherd boasts a dynamic range of programming including exhibitions, public projects, and performances, with the main gallery featuring a mezzanine level for versatile showcases. The space not only serves as a commercial gallery but also as a collaborative hub connecting with local and international arts organizations, symbolizing a new era in Detroit's cultural landscape.
