The Arts Alliance is the local administrator of the Minigrant program, which awards grants of up to $4,000 to Michigan nonprofit organizations for high quality, locally developed projects that increase public access to art and culture. Organizations applying through the Arts Alliance must be from Livingston, Monroe or Washtenaw Counties. They may be arts or non-arts nonprofit organizations, public or private schools, cities, townships, or villages. Activities such as exhibits, performances, artist residencies, festivals, and conferences are eligible for funding. For more information or to download a Minigrant application and guidelines, see the FAQs.

The Minigrant program is an initiative of the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs. The Arts Alliance works to enhance the region’s quality of life by increasing participation in arts and cultural activities and strengthening the cultural organizations that provide these programs.
