Welcome to Our Permanent Collection

The RED's permanent collection features artwork created by Detroit-area youth. Works of art were collected by Yvette Rock, founder & CEO of Live Coal Gallery, L.L.C. (now Rock Gallery of Art, LLC) and Executive Director of Live Coal. Rock began acquiring children's art decades ago, but the collection in The RED features work purchased specifically for the gallery since 2012. Live Coal is dedicated to the collection and preservation of artwork created by children. We thank all of you who have donated to us in order to make The RED and our permanent collection possible! Please note, no copying of of student artwork is permitted without the written or expressed permission of Live Coal Gallery, LLC and Live Coal.

LARRY HUMPHREY GLASSWORKS

In the early years of Live Coal Gallery, one of our neighbors donated several original hand-blown glass pieces made by her late husband, Larry Humphrey. These glass pieces are on display at The RED. Mr. Humphrey was an artist and longtime Detroit educator. The RED has dedicated special area of the museum in honor or Mr. Humphrey! Glass pieces in image gallery are part of the Live Coal Gallery permanent collection. We will also post images of glassworks available for sale in the future in our shop. Please come back and visit our website for updates.
