Through the Student Mini-Grants program, Arts at Michigan supported 83 student-initiated arts projects in 2021-22.
One project supported was Salto Dance Company's Winter Showcase, a performance highlighting the groups innovation through unique choreography and dance style through various classical and contemporary ballet and lyrical pieces.
Another project was Birdbath, a performance of the play by Leonard Melfi that Drake George used for their senior thesis as a Senior Directing major at the University of Michigan. This play examines loneliness and how to find connection in the strangest of places.
Learn about these and other projects we supported.
