Do Work Make Good is proud to host Detroit-based artist and musician Rachele Eve. Rachele is an artist and adventurer divining music, poetry, earth-based practices, and travel to initiate conscious community, transformation, and soul growth. She is a third-generation Italian American — a storyteller and an incurable romantic. Stemming from daily practice of writing haiku and affirmations, Rachele’s SECRETEXTS are enchanting reminders of what is important, true, and crucial for a soul-centered life. An artist of several mediums, she describes this project as one of divination, an act of deep listening and playful word foraging, “something from Universal Mind that you have known all along.”

Since January 2019 Rachele has divined over 350 and sees this as just the beginning. Currently, SECRETEXTS are ordered in the form of small journals, postcards, and large posters and can be placed, hung, gifted, and carried around to bring you to the present moment, to arm your path, and bring readers to a place of peace and contemplation.

A portion of the proceeds from sold artwork will be donated to the Detroit Zen Center. The center has served as a refuge to the Hamtramck and Detroit community for 29 years with its focus to become a sustainable and cooperative home, spiritual center, and an organic, vegan cafe and grocery store.

Do Work Make Good

Departing from the standard model, Do Work Make Good rejects monetary profit, instead asking artists to champion causes that inform and inspire their practices, focusing on environmental and social justice issues. Exhibiting artists choose non-profit organizations to benefit from works sold and donations received. The gallery donates the space and hosts the artists while they are in the area.

Located in the historic downtown district of Calumet, Do Work Make Good brings nationally and internationally recognized artists to a small, vibrant community that has endured the departure of a once prosperous copper mining industry. Located in the heart of the Keweenaw Peninsula, surrounded by Lake Superior, the town’s beautifully designed buildings and access to incredible Northwoods wildernesses and freshwater coastlines provide unique opportunities for artistic and environmental exploration.
