ABOUT SUSTAIN-A-CITY

​SustainACity: A Vision for a Thriving, Resilient Detroit—a groundbreaking public art initiative curated by Asia Hamilton, Climate Resilience Program Manager for the City of Detroit Office of Sustainability and Founder of Norwest Gallery of Art.

 

This powerful exhibition transforms the city into an open-air art gallery, using visual storytelling to educate, inspire, and spark dialogue around climate action, environmental justice, and community resilience. SustainACity showcases compelling works by local and national artists on billboards throughout Detroit. These artworks offer powerful visions of a resilient and sustainable future for the city.

 

“Our goal is to center art as a tool to envision our city at its best—a thriving, environmentally friendly ecosystem,” said curator Asia Hamilton. “By placing these messages in public view, we empower Detroiters to see sustainability as something accessible, urgent, and community-driven.”
