Meredith Kerekes, Chief of Staff for Techtown, speaks with Craig about being one of three Detroit organizations--including MOCAD and Midtown Detroit, Inc.--to receive funding from Art Place.

Now in a broad effort to build on that thesis, an unusual consortium of foundations, corporations and federal agencies will use cultural enterprises to anchor and enliven 34 projects around the country,including a block of Woodward in Detroit. Three organizations in Detroit got awards for specific projects they are involved in: TechTown, Mocad and Midtown Detroit, Inc. To listen to this segment, click on the audio player above.
