DTE Energy Sponsors DLECTRICITY 2017
Thanks to DTE Energy for their generous presenting sponsorship of DLECTRICITY. We couldn’t ask for a better partner to energize Detroit with public art and light! DTE is returning as a major sponsor for this year’s festival and joins a growing list of returning and new funders for DLECTRICITY, including The Kresge Foundation, The Knight Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, the Detroit Institute of Arts, Bluewater, Wayne State University, and Hyphen Advisory.
We encourage you to check out the development of DTE Energy’s new “Beacon Park” located on Cass Avenue and Grand River in Detroit – adjacent to DTE’s headquarters campus. Beacon Park will open to the public on Thursday, July 20, 2017, kicking off four days of grand opening events that include live music, a night market and family entertainment. You can check out lighting activations developed by former Dlectricity artist Mindfield that will illuminate the park after dark. Learn more here: https://goo.gl/y9QFH6.
