WDET is encouraging the growth of Metro Detroit's arts and culture scene by helping individual organizations get their message to the broader public. Our goal is to connect amazing people, groups, and visions for the cultural health of the Detroit region. WDET’s Support The Arts (STAR) Program provides free on-air promotion and air-time to Southeastern Michigan’s non-profit arts and cultural organizations. Established to help these organizations reach a wider audience than their modest budgets typically allow for, the STAR Program will spotlight two groups per month with two weeks of dedicated promotion time each, for a total of 36 profiled organizations within a 12-month period.

If you have any questions about the program, we encourage you to email us at star@wdet.org.
