DCLEATED: Custom Cleats for Causes

Local Artists design and paint colossal cleats for their favorite charities

Step into a world of creativity and compassion with DCLEATED, an extraordinary art installation project that has brought together talented Detroit artists to paint custom cleats for a noble cause. In partnership with City Walls Detroit, Detroit Medical Center, Visit Detroit, and Spacelab Detroit, the artists have passionately adorned these cleats, crafted by Prop Art Studios, to support their favorite local causes.


These stunning creations are displayed across downtown Detroit, Metro Airport terminals, and City Airport through the NFL Draft held downtown. Each five-foot high cleat is a unique expression of passion and dedication to uplifting important community causes. From showcasing environmental awareness to promoting youth education and supporting healthcare initiatives, these cleats uplift a diverse range of organizations that impact the Detroit community.


The excitement continues! There is a live auction for each of these remarkable cleats. Head over to join the bidding and show your support for each of these causes. Every bid contributes to making a difference in our community, aligning art with meaningful change. The DCLEATED excitement will culminate in a community event at The Godfrey Hotel in May where the winning bidders will be announced.
