ABOUT CULTURESOURCE

CultureSource is a Detroit-based coalition of cultural organizations and creative people that supports the vitality of Southeast Michigan's arts and culture community. Around 170 arts and culture nonprofits comprise our membership, and we use our expertise to serve artists, philanthropists, and policymakers striving to have creative and cultural expression benefit the public across our seven-county region.

Our work involves facilitating convenings and networking activities, managing funding and grantmaking initiatives, producing innovative changemaking work locally, regionally, and nationally, collecting data, and sharing knowledge.

Recently, we have intensified focus on growing our relevance and capacity, in part, through establishing an organizational culture of experimentation and adaptation. Our progress in the last five years makes us proud and has happened steadily with guidance from our seventeen-person board of directors, full of executives experienced in business development, and it is attributable to our nine-person staff team’s evolving efforts to address member and partner needs and to our investments in strategy refinement.
