(MOT founding general director) David DiChiera bet on Detroit when few others were. Now\u00a0MOT\u2019s leadership are setting a new bar for artistic excellence and creativity for performing arts organizations around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Michigan Opera Theatre Gets Grant to Make Improvements <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So what will this $5 million grant go toward? The Funds will go toward making major infrastructure improvements as well as supporting two seasons of arts programming at that theatre. The Michigan Opera Theatre, which is based in Detroit has a long and storied history. The theater was established in 1963 by David DiChiera. Overture to Opera was the original name of this first iteration. This program was the educational program of the Detroit Grand Opera Association. This program funded trips to the Metropolitan Opera every year for participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This grant comes as the Michigan Opera <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>Theatre has launched a $15 million fundraising campaign to make capital improvements to the theater. The 2700 seat, Opera House is home to most of the theaters&#8217; main stage productions and educational programs. The award from the William Davidson Foundation will allow for $3 million in improvements to this 100-year old building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethan Davidson, the chair of MOT&#8217;s board of directors, said:&nbsp;\u201cWe\u2019ve got a 100-year-old opera house right in Detroit, which is great. But it\u2019s a 100-year-old building. We realized at some point that, in terms of \u2026 bathrooms, elevators&nbsp;and so forth, if we\u2019re going to talk about community and audience and including everybody, we need to have a more accessible building.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arts and Culture Grants<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Firstly. there are grants available to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/176104\/grants-to-usa-nonprofits-agencies-tribes-and-ihes-for-digital-projects-in-the-humanities.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. IHE&#8217;s, nonprofits, agencies, tribes<\/a> for digital projects in the humanities. <\/li><li>And there are also grants available to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/198243\/grants-to-usa-authors-of-published-works-to-provide-emergency-financial-assistance.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. authors of published works<\/a> to provide emergency financial assistance. <\/li><li>There are also to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/189889\/grants-to-usa-nonprofits-agencies-and-tribes-for-arts-activities-and-events.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. nonprofits, agencies, and tribes,<\/a> for art activities and events <\/li><li>And there are also grants available to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/149444\/grants-to-usa-female-composers-to-develop-new-operatic-works.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">U.S. female composers<\/a> to develop new operatic works.
