CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: ARTIVATE SPECIAL ISSUE

Detroit’s Cultural Renaissance: Research on the Impact of Culture in Urban Revitalization

Abstract

Artivate’s Winter 2020 issue will highlight the role of arts entrepreneurship in Detroit. Artists, cultural organizations, and creative entrepreneurs have been critical to Detroit’s recovery from bankruptcy. The highly publicized rescue of the Detroit Institute of Art as part of the “Grand Bargain” is but one example of entrepreneurial work that has built up the city’s creative infrastructure in support of a vital city. Featured essays will be focused on, but not limited to workforce development, repurposed buildings, innovations to the city’s arts education programs, and creative placemaking.

Deadline Extended: December 15, 2019
