Fresh Coast Perspective

A strategic pillar of CAN’s advocacy efforts exist in the stories of artists, creatives and the industry at work here in the State of Michigan. CAN has forged a partnership with the newly developed statewide digital platform, Fresh Coast Perspective, to deliver upon these efforts with intentional stories on the innovation and creativity across the Fresh Coast State. From articles to podcasts, Fresh Coast Perspective will uncover these stories for a growing platform of arts administrators, patrons and artists to discover Michigan’s creative economy.
