Artrain USA
The Council's continued leadership with underserved communities is a new grant to Artrain USA. Scheduled to begin October 1, 2008, this new partnership could be viewed as a return to our roots.
Inspired by Mr. E. Ray Scott and Mrs. Helen Milliken, a former First Lady of Michigan, Artrain USA was created by the Michigan Council for the Arts as its inaugural program. The goal of the Michigan Artrain (their original name) was to provide opportunities to under-represented, rural and low-income Michigan residents through art and art education and to encourage the development of local arts councils.
The Council has awarded Artrain USA a partnership to once again provide those community development programs in underserved areas of Michigan. The Council believes that, much like Artrain did more than 30 years ago, this partnership will be the catalyst for the development of new arts organizations in underserved communities.
