Arts, Culture, & Entrepreneurship
The Office of Arts, Culture, and Entrepreneurship has announced the establishment of the ACE Medals of Honors. The medals, modeled after the Kennedy Center Honors, will salute lifetime achievement, celebrating artists and arts patrons who have given 25 years or more of exceptional service to Detroit arts and culture. The awards will be bestowed each December.

- Join the ever-expanding network of creative entrepreneurs in Detroit
