Artrain is 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in Ann Arbor that seeks to encourage discovery and transform lives, organizations, and communities through the power of arts and culture. It offers general services, project management, administrative services, and fiscals sponsorship services to worthwhile but vulnerable artistic or cultural programs that are not or may not need to be independent nonprofits. Its fiscal sponsorship is essentially a regranting program for grant awards and contributions to specific pre-approved artists or organizations intended for purposes directly related to Artrain’s vision and mission. Originally delivering its programs on a museum-on-a-train that used America’s rail system, Artrain retired its rail museum in 2008.
