To Preserve and Grow: the Michigan Arts and Culture Council was established as the state’s steward of creativity and heritage.

In our next segment of Around Michigan in 30 Minutes we talk with Alison Watson, Director of the Michigan Arts and Culture Council. From the Upper Peninsula to our southern border, Alison takes us on a journey through the people, places, and stories that showcase Michigan’s cultural heartbeat. 

Since 1966, the State of Michigan has recognized the vital role vibrant arts and cultural sectors play in shaping our communities. Arts and culture fuel more than inspiration—they strengthen Michigan’s economy, boost tourism, and help attract businesses and talent to our state.
