We could not be more thrilled to be releasing these open calls and infusing more than a half a million dollars into the Detroit arts ecosystem this summer. We are confident that these community driven projects will not only have a massive positive impact on Detroit’s built environment but will also serve to strengthen the shared community fabric that weaves us all together.

This section is developed by the community and is intended to inspire your proposals for the project(s) you choose to apply for, We hope you apply to them all, and we look forward to reviewing your submissions and thank you for participating!
