Michigan Arts & Culture Council provides grants to encourage, initiate and facilitate an enriched artistic, cultural, and creative environment in Michigan using funds appropriated each year in the state budget. Granting areas include operational support, project support, arts in education, new leaders, capital improvements and regional regrant. For many, including the Network’s administration, MACC funding is a lifeline to operational support needed to keep the inner workings on track. It’s so important and yet is also a very good investment of public monies. 2023 funding for northwest Michigan totaled $917,219, benefiting 42 organizations in eight of our 10 counties. Every granted dollar must be matched 1:1 which creates a ripple effect economically while also investing in our local artists and organizations.
