Why Sponsor the Alliance?
The Upper Peninsula Arts and Culture Alliance is generating connections and community prosperity across the Upper Peninsula through arts and culture through four key areas:
Research
In partnership with organizations like Americans for the Arts, we are conducting research in arts and culture and related sectors to measure the impact of arts and culture in the UP.
Education
Through grant workshops, web resources, newsletters, and our annual conference, we are working to educate the arts and culture community on funding and professional opportunities.
Connection
Our hands-on approach to connect arts and culture leaders in the Upper Peninsula includes quarterly gatherings rotating through all regions of the UP.
Promotion
Our online database of arts and culture organizations and individual artists totaling over 250 profiles, we help promote and advocate for an interconnected arts and culture community in the UP.
