Our mission is to advance the work of organizations that cultivate creative and cultural expression in Southeast Michigan.
The Creators of Culture grant program for 2023 is inspired by the "An Investment Framework for Supporting the Artists Ecosystem" report by WolfBrown, focusing on strengthening ties between artists and audiences to enhance a flourishing local arts ecosystem. Aimed at arts curators, organizers, and journalists who independently foster a culture of support, appreciation, and engagement for local arts, the grant supports those working outside the traditional 501(c)3 nonprofit model. Eligible participants include arts curators who curate exhibitions or performances, arts organizers who unite people around shared artistic activities, and arts journalists who write about local arts to widen their impact. Successful applicants, fitting within these roles, will share the total funding equally, with expected grants ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 each.
