Spud’s Thoughts:
I love the concept behind Challenge Detroit! Some of my favorite towns around the country have kickstarted their creative vibe through residency programs. Challenge Detroit is one of the best of these programs that I’ve heard of. There seems to be a decent amount of support from community partners and they are bringing in enough individuals to create a dynamic community during your time in the program. Also, Detroit just has some incredible movers and shakers who call that city home – so you will definitely be in good company during your time there!!
