Our history
Live Coal was founded by Detroit resident and artist, Yvette Rock. Rock is the founder and CEO of Live Coal Gallery, L.L.C., a Detroit-based small business. Since the gallery was doing so much community-based work, Rock realized that creating a non-profit was the best model and structure for growing this work.
