Network Membership

Help Build the Network

The Northwest Michigan Arts and Culture Network formed as a grassroots response to the needs of individual artists and arts and cultural organizations. Five years in, we are now a 501(c)3 and have begun the hard work of strengthening the system that supports a thriving creative sector.

The challenges of COVID-19 have dramatically impacted arts and culture locally and nationally. The reasons the Network formed are even more important right now.

Will you join us as we launch our membership program?

As a member of the Network, you will further the vision we share for a vibrant and valued creative sector.

Together, we will:

Connect artists, arts and cultural organizations, and stakeholders with one another and the community to share resources and best practices.

Build the capacity of arts and cultural organizations and individuals by providing access to funding opportunities and professional development resources.

Promote and advocate for arts and culture in our region.
