About

What is the Creative Alliance?

A non-profit organization working to revitalize Flint through collective creative action. But more than just that–we are artists, volunteers, community outreach, and friends, all working to make this a better place to live via our art and our passion.

Without creativity, what can we create here? Without hope, how can we truly live here? Without each other, how can we have a community? It is our hope that by bringing more art, more community service, and more life into Flint that it will create an atmosphere people will want to live in and help maintain. We are the enemies of despair and boredom.

What is Our Mission?

The Greater Flint Creative Alliance is an organization of artists, community activists, and socially aware individuals who believe in the power of a collective to change the face of Flint through cooperation and art.

The CA fulfills this objective by creating exhibition opportunities for artists working outside of the commercial mainstream; thus validating art from diverse backgrounds.  The art created by the CA and it’s varied members work in a dialectical or educational relationship to the mainstream…thus responding to America’s dramatic cultural, racial, and social changes that occur on a moment to moment basis.

The CA also hopes to create, support, and collaborate on community-based planning of the arts; and to be a focal point and home to grassroots organizations that connect the arts, neighborhoods, and institutions of higher learning.

A Little More About the Group

The Creative Alliance is YOUR ORGANIZATION.  This group does not belong to the board, the creators, the event coordinators; this group is YOUR GROUP.  Tell us what you want to happen….or make it happen yourself.

All of you have the potential to make this organization great.

Artists and anyone who appreciates art – like you! We come from all backgrounds, and all artistic disciplines. From painters to poets to DJs to models to filmmakers to writers to musicians, and everything in between. We are a network of dreamers and doers, working to help the community as we help one another. And even if you just appreciate the arts and want to help make this a better place, we need you. This is not a job for a few, but a challenge for all of us.
