The Cultural Alliance of Southeastern Michigan serves a seven-county region (Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne). It serves diverse arts and cultural nonprofit organizations, from small grassroots groups to major cultural institutions. The Cultural Alliance brings together these organizations to improve their collective service to the community and to strengthen their ability to fulfill their individual missions. Its three main goals are to:

Meet the needs of regional residents and contribute to community vitality, increase collaborations among arts organizations to maximize community participation and impact. Facilitate the sharing of resources, information and expertise to help arts organizations to be innovative, effective and sustainable.
