“The power of creativity in propelling our economy is a fundamental building block of our state’s transformation.”

So said Governor Granholm in a recent address. Local arts organizations are doing their part to help revitalize downtown Flint. Are you doing yours?

The University of Michigan-Flint Department of Theatre and Dance is one of seven theatre organizations in LOFT – the League of Flint Theatres – working to provide the activities and community events that will make our vision of a “cool” city come true. LOFT, the growing number of art galleries, the fine institutions of the Flint Cultural Center and the stalwart business leaders who have anchored or added to our downtown development are moving Flint toward a positive tipping point. But buildings, businesses and box-offices need people to make them truly come alive. Supporting home-grown arts and artists through attendance at events is an act of faith in Flint’s future. Won’t you join us this season?
