Heritage Grants are underway!   

On June 5, 2015 representatives from each of this years 26 projects were in attendance for the Heritage Grants Program Meeting. We gathered at the Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame. The grantees came together to learn about each other's projects and discuss the variety of ways each organization is planning to address the histories of race in Michigan and questions of racial equity through humanities content. Projects have started and will continue through June 2016, spanning from southeast Michigan to the Western U.P.   Two exhibits are already underway: 

Visit the Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum, Saginaw Valley State University, Saginaw, MI

Admission is free.  

Visit Harbor Springs History Museum, 349 E. Main Street, Harbor Springs, MI

Summer exhibit hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Old favorites, new talents, diverse groups and educational individuals! The new touring directory will have someone for your public arts and culture events. Watch our website - we'll release the new edition this summer!
