As we navigate the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, Kresge Arts in Detroit’s first priority is to support the safety of the community we proudly call home, and our employees and creative partners. For this reason, and in accordance with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and State of Michigan, the Kresge Arts in Detroit office is operating remotely. General inquires about Kresge Arts in Detroit’s work and the hundreds of metro Detroit artists we celebrate may be forwarded to admin@kresgeartsdetroit.org. Individual staff members are available by email and phone. Given the pandemic’s fluidity and uncertainty, we will continue to monitor the situation, adjust accordingly, and share any changes to our operations. Kresge Arts in Detroit will continue to elevate art’s role in vibrant communities via our social media channels. We invite you to join us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
