ABOUT US
KRESGE ARTS IN DETROIT
2010-2011 ADVISORY COUNCIL
Kresge Arts in Detroit is supported by the guidance and expertise of an Advisory Council, a volunteer group of leaders in the metropolitan Detroit cultural community who nominate review panelists, nominate candidates for the Kresge Eminent Artist Award and provide external oversight to Kresge Arts in Detroit. The Advisory Council serves a 2-year term, and a new council is appointed every two years by the Kresge Arts in Detroit office.
Please note: Advisory Council members nominate panelists for the Kresge Eminent Artist Award and the Kresge Artist Fellowships, however, they do NOT contribute in any way to the selection process, as there are independent panels that select the awarded artists.
