History

Today’s ArtServe Michigan is the product of a recent merger in October 2006 with the Michigan Association of Community Arts Agencies that focused on the need to create a single statewide organization with the credibility, capacity, creativity and clout to effectively support, strengthen and build awareness of arts, culture and creativity in Michigan.

The organization was originally founded in 1997 through a merger of four statewide organizations – Arts Foundation of Michigan, Business Volunteers for the Arts, Concerned Citizens for the Arts in Michigan, and the Michigan Alliance for Arts Education – a merger that brought together 32 years of arts leadership in the state.

Our Mission
ArtServe Michigan is a statewide arts and cultural advocacy organization - our mission is to cultivate the creative potential of Michigan’s arts and cultural sector to enhance the health and well-being of Michigan, its people and communities.

We accomplish our mission through work in Advocacy, Capacity-Building and Strategic Communications accomplished through partnerships with constituents, stakeholders and the broader community and aimed at positioning arts, culture and creativity to change lives, grow vibrant communities, and enrich the quality of life in Michigan.
