DETROIT – The Cultural Center Planning Initiative is hosting a webinar for the public to share proposed designs for the project and a digital strategy for the cultural district in Detroit.
The project is focused on bringing together 12 cultural Detroit institutions that together form an 83-acre cultural district in the city’s Midtown neighborhood in an effort to reimagine “Detroit’s arts and cultural district, aiming to make it a vibrant, more connected space for community stakeholders, as well as more accessible and approachable,” the project’s website reads. Officials say the district represents the “highest density of cultural institutions per acre in the country outside of the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. "
