ArtServe Michigan is the leading statewide arts advocacy organization dedicated to strengthening communities by positioning arts, culture and arts education as key contributors to the re-invention of Michigan’s economy. We are committed to developing and supporting the creative and professional potential of artists and other creative practitioners working in Michigan. Through our statewide Creative Many Initiative and our work directing the Professional Practice Opportunities for Kresge Artist Fellows we offer a portfolio of programs designed to connect practitioners to the knowledge, networks and advocacy needed to help them thrive. ArtServe Michigan provides practical opportunities that stimulate ideas and growth. ArtServe Michigan programs focus on four main areas: professional development, networking and dialogue, research and analysis, and awards and recognition.
CSA Detroit is a project modeled on the successful CSA program in Minneapolis/St. Paul – created by mnartists.org and Springboard for the Arts and supported by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

Springboard for the Arts is an economic and community development organization for artists and by artists. Their work is about building stronger communities, neighborhoods, and economies, and they believe that artists are an important leverage point in that work. Springboard for the Arts’ mission is to cultivate vibrant communities by connecting artists with the skills, information, and services they need to make a living and a life.
