For the past year, the Cultural Advocacy Network of Michigan (CAN) has been setting the stage to bring more individuals into the work we do to build dynamic and thriving communities through the lens of arts and culture. At the heart of CAN’s mission – to support and unite statewide cultural interests through advocacy and education -- is an opportunity for you to become more engaged in our work. We hope you will consider joining a collective group of supporters, artists, educators, preservationists, history buffs, librarians, humanities scholars, festivals and arts and cultural organizations. When you join the Cultural Advocacy Network of Michigan, you become an advocate of the creative, historical, artistic and educational opportunities that take place in all 83 Michigan counties. We look forward to welcoming you as a Member and look forward to working with you in the years to come.
