Our history
Founder & Executive Director
Live Coal was founded by Detroit resident and artist, Yvette Rock. Rock is the founder and CEO of Rock Gallery of Art, LLC (formerly 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 organization was the best model and structure for growing and sustaining this work.
