The museum receives funding from the Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs. We participate in the Cultural Data Project (CDP) as a result. The CDP is the emerging national standard for data collection in the arts and cultural sector.

The CDP offers a turnkey solution to each state, with all technology and services provided centrally through the CDP’s Philadelphia headquarters. CDP staff support all current and future participants, including organizations, grantmakers and researchers/advocates.
