The Exchange, Presented by Y Arts and supported by the Erb Family Foundation
Y Arts, the arts and humanities branch of the YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit has been serving the community since 2007. At the core of our mission is providing employment, support, and resources to help local artists not only survive, but thrive. The Exchange has been a dream of ours for many years, and thanks to the support of the Erb Family Foundation, we’re finally able to make that dream a reality.
If you have any questions or are a funder, art administrator, or other arts related professional and would like to visit the summit, reach out to Margaret Edwartowski medwartowski@ymcadetroit.org
