Culture Driving Michigan's Economy
Michigan's arts and cultural sector will play an increasingly important role in helping our communities better define themselves as great places for people to live, businesses to thrive, and tourists to visit. As Michigan continues the hard work of transforming its economy, the strategy of cultural economic development - building upon our cultural assets to boost community prosperity -- will help our cities, neighborhoods and rural areas position themselves for long-term growth.
