Welcome!

We are the united voice of southeastern Michigan’s arts and cultural community. Cultural Alliance members are arts and culture organizations of all kinds and all sizes in a seven-county region. The Cultural Alliance helps them to find new approaches that increase earned revenue, reduce costs, find new efficiency and put creativity into the business of our work as well as our mission-driven product. The Cultural Alliance works on a regional level, organizing collaborations and facilitating work that no single organization could achieve alone.
Michigan’s economy is in the process of a permanent restructuring.  Funding for arts and culture is reducing dramatically, and our sector must compete with other pressing community needs for available support.   The Cultural Alliance envisions a new equilibrium of sustainability in which earned revenue and individual giving to arts and culture will play a larger role.   We are encouraging member organizations to identify ways to reduce arts sector infrastructure by forming strategic alliances – so that our sector can preserve public programming and service, keeping arts and culture alive and well in our region.  Learn more about our Strategy for Sustainability
