Their Beginning: The Arts League of Michigan (ALM) was formed in 1991 by a group of dedicated artists and arts enthusiasts with a passion for artistic disciplines and cultural expressions. For several years, The Arts League managed a performing and visual arts touring program showcasing Michigan minority artists in communities throughout the State.
Engaged in a three-year capital campaign, the Arts League is committed to develop a cultural arts center in Detroit. The Virgil H. Carr Cultural Arts Center will be more than a building, but a strong institution built on a solid foundation. Thousands of new “friends” will be encouraged to become members of the Arts League organization.

Hours and Location:
311 E. Grand River
Detroit, Mi 48226

Open: Tuesday through Friday from 9 to 5

Mission Statement: Through continuous growth, development and strategic direction, The Arts League has evolved into an organization with a clear mission to be a “Center which develops, promotes, presents and preserves the African and African American cultural arts traditions within our multicultural community.” The Arts League is recognized as a leadership organization offering a variety of cultural arts programs, services and activities for both artists and audiences. No small feat for an organization with very humble beginnings but an expansive passion for serving and supporting the cultural arts.
