ArtServe Michigan continues the tradition of service through education, community arts development, advocacy, information, volunteerism and direct support for arts and cultural activities. While its roots are in services to those who create, teach and appreciate our state's cultural activities, its future is in leveraging new growth -- intellectual, educational, spiritual and economic -- through the arts in Michigan's communities.

The singular role of ArtServe Michigan speaks loudly in support of the critical role the arts, culture and education play in maintaining and improving the quality life of our communities as it brings together many different interests of Michigan's cultural community for development of larger ideals and common interests. The organization assists educators in developing formal arts curriculum; supports individual artists as they create and present their work; recruits and trains volunteers whose leadership skills will strengthen cultural organizations and also translate into greater involvement between the business sector and cultural community.
