2017 GIA Conference

Grantmakers in the Arts welcomes you to Detroit, a city with a rich culture of creativity, innovation, and resilience. In addition to being the historic heart of the American automotive industry, Motown is also the home of incredible architecture; a legacy of activism; and vibrant arts, music, and design communities. The city is undergoing an immense transition, from its former identity as an industrial epicenter, toward defining what the future could be for an American city. Engage with your colleagues from across North America at the GIA Conference for a unique opportunity to be inspired by the people and culture of Detroit.

Grantmakers is the Arts has a long-held commitment to engaging the community in each city where the annual national conference is held. Read GIA’s Conference Guiding Principles and Practices.
