Our Partners
Concert of Colors is proud to collaborate with a network of leading cultural institutions, community organizations, and media partners across Southeast Michigan.
These partnerships help expand access to the arts, support local communities, and create a multi-venue festival experience across Detroit’s cultural district.
In 2026, the Concert of Colors is collaborating with the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on Of the People: The Smithsonian Festival of Festivals - a series of co-curated programs and exchanges to amplify the role of festivals in civic engagement, cultural exchange and reciprocal learning, as well as to mark the nation's 250th anniversary. Of the People comprises 34 collaborating festivals and more than a dozen Spotlight Programs spanning 27 states and 2 U.S. territories. We are also pleased to work with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which has partnered with the nationwide semiquincentennial organization Freedom 250 to celebrate the 250th anniversary through arts and cultural initiatives.
