Keep Michigan’s Arts Community Alive. Become an Encore Sustainer.

Encore Michigan is Michigan’s premiere digital hub for the performing arts — a place where artists, audiences, and theatre-makers meet, find jobs, read current news, and discover work across the state. With your support, we can sustain daily coverage, pay freelance critics, and build an Arts Journalism Fellowship that trains the next generation of critics and reporters. Your donation is tax-deductible through GhostLight’s fiscal sponsorship and goes straight to keeping local arts reporting strong and independent.

  • Keep reviews, features, and statewide listings free and accessible.
  • Pay freelance critics and reporters fairly so more communities are covered.
  • Build an Arts Journalism Fellowship and paid training for new critics.
  • Support a statewide calendar, casting board, and job listings that help artists earn a living.
