I am very grateful to the Knight Foundation for choosing me as a finalist in the Knight Arts Challenge Detroit 2013. I am also grateful to everyone who has sent words of encouragement.
Other finalists include the Michigan Arab Orchestra, the Michigan Philharmonic and the Motor City Brass Band, to name just a few.
There are still a few important steps before the final decisions are made. I have to submit a longer, more detailed proposal about my idea, and fill out a budget spreadsheet (as a matter of fact, I need to get back to work on those). I will let you know more about the people's choice voting later on.
