The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) received a $52,865.24 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) under the Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs (CFDA 45.164) program. The award period was from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2019 to support the DIA Teen Arts Council.
The NEH Promotion of the Humanities Public Programs grant aims to provide opportunities for the public to explore human history and culture through programs in museums and other community spaces. For this award, the DIA Teen Arts Council will likely develop and host public programs, exhibits, or events at the DIA to engage teenagers in the humanities. The two-year funding period allows time for planning and executing multiple public programs to meet the goals of the NEH grant program.
