We Need Your Help!
Did you know, the Village Arts Factory is a 501(c)3 non-profit? The pandemic has severely impacted the level of donations in 2020 and 2021, and yet we still have financial obligations to meet and bills to pay. Your donations help keep the rent affordable at the Warehouse for our emerging artists and make our special event programs like Concerts and Cars possible. To fund the Village Arts Factory and make necessary repairs at the Veterans Dormitory, we need to raise $200,000 in the next 12 months. Help us meet our financial obligations in 2022 and keep the dream alive.

Agent Orange Awareness 5K
Saturday, August 27, 2022
Agent Orange was a harmful herbicide used during the Vietnam War to defoliate battlegrounds and thus deprive the enemy of ground cover to hide in. The toxic and deadly chemicals left many soldiers who returned home from Vietnam with serious health issues including cancer, heart disease, and other life-threatening illnesses. The effects of Agent Orange have left a lasting impact on veterans and their families.
This will be the inaugural Agent Orange Awareness 5K event with the hope that it makes a positive difference in our community. The 5K is being hosted in August, which correlates with Agent Orange Awareness Day. All funds raised from this event will go toward the continued operation of the Veterans’ Dormitory on the Village Arts Campus in Cherry Hill Village.
Cherry Hill Village Festival 2.0
We are thrilled to announce the return of the Cherry Hill Village Festival!
“How Do I Sign Up For Classes?”
“How do I sign up for classes at the Village Arts Factory?” is the number one reason that people call or email us. The answer is easy! Classes, workshops, and hours of operation are handled by each individual tenant. Click on the “Get More Info” button below. On this page you can click on the “Learn More” button of each Village Arts Factory artist to find their individual web sites and contact info where you can contact each artist to see how you can sign up for classes. Please keep in mind that not all artists at the Village Arts Factory offer classes. Artists like the Branded Barby won’t teach you how to be a professional ink slinger, but if you are looking for confidence boosting, life altering body art, give them a call to sign up for an appointment.

Building a Future,
While Honoring the Past
The Village Arts Factory is located where Henry Ford’s last village industry and our Arts Warehouse stands today.
This 14-acre property stood vacant for over 10 years until we transformed it into a place where art of all kinds can flourish. We are now open as a regional gathering place where all ages and cultures can come together.

Supporting & Honoring our Veterans
Henry Ford has a long history of supporting and honoring our veterans. Our desire is to continue honor his memory and the vision he had for the property.
Veterans' Dormitory
Please consider supporting our veterans with a donation this Veterans Day, November 11th. The Veterans' Dormitory serves as an Urban Retreat/Residence for veterans struggling with housing and those who need a supportive environment in the Detroit Metro area. We are thrilled that The Fallen and Wounded Soldiers Fund is leasing the Veterans' Dormitory and will offer a program to give support to veterans.
