Michigan Artrain

Artrain is a renowned organization based in Ann Arbor, MI, dedicated to delivering discovery and transforming lives, organizations, and communities through the power of arts and culture. With a strong focus on community building, Artrain collaborates with artists and cultural institutions to produce and deliver a wide range of art-infused outreach programs, encompassing art, culture, history, science, and the environment. Since its establishment in 1971, Artrain has played a pivotal role in starting or strengthening numerous cultural organizations, and its impactful work has been recognized with the prestigious National Medal for Museum Service.

Originally operating as a museum-on-a-train, Artrain retired its rail museum in 2008 and now employs various delivery methods to bring its programs to people across the United States and Canada. Through countless community visits, Artrain has shared award-winning exhibitions and introduced millions of individuals, from schoolchildren to grandparents, to the works of world-renowned artists. Many participants have been inspired to become art and creative practitioners, consumers, supporters, advocates, and volunteers, contributing to the enrichment of local cultural infrastructure.
