FORWARD ARTS

STRUT 2018 is underway! We've been working away on a number of projects, but our hootenanny is a year around project. As always, we'll have some surprises along the way to share, with one big surprise coming in the beginning of the year. (We'll also formally announce our dates then, but you know the deal!)

To date STRUT has created over 125 Detroit artist opportunities and over $150,000 in economic development. We've worked with 63 businesses and organizations to make STRUT happen, almost all Detroit based. None of this happens with out our community. Thank You! Arts, Business and Corktown communities for an amazing two years.

And lastly, a very special shout out to our 2017 STRUT SPONSORS; we wouldn't have done it without you! Thank You Stroh's, Two James Distillery, Detroit Metro Times, Corktown Business Association, Detroit Music Magazine, Cabresto Tequila, Slows Bar BQ, Detroit Electronic Quarterly, and Hello Records.

It's the first day of National Arts & Humanities Month, and that means we're starting to think about our Detroit arts community survey. We won't execute and release the survey data until early 2018, but want to make sure there is time for input from the community at large, government agencies and other arts organizations. In case you missed it, click the link HERE for the results of the last arts survey completed by our Emerging Arts Leaders Detroit program.

What to know more about the survey or have a question you want to see on it? Send us an email at info@ForwardArtsDetroit.org and we'll get back to you shortly.

Thank You! to all those who came out to the 2nd Annual Corktown STRUT Festival. So many great artists and food! Once again, STRUT got to work with dozens of Detroit based businesses and artists, creating economic development for the arts community and more. THANK YOU to all our sponsors, partners, artists, venues and Corktown for another great STRUT. And a special Thank You to STROH's Beer, also brewed in Corktown, who was instrumental in our 2017 year.

Happy 4th of July, Detroit. Can't wait until next year.
