About GLAC’s Corporate Citizenship efforts:
GLAC is the largest arts organization of its kind in Michigan and is
supported by the Michigan Arts Council and Detroit Recreation Department.
2020 marks the 35th year anniversary of the organization, 30th year of its
annual Navarathri festival, and the 10th year of the SAROVAR festival. GLAC
partners its programming with Oakland University, Washtenaw Community College,
The Carr Center, and the Arab American National Museum in an effort to build
bridges that span racial, cultural and ethnic divisions amongst the communities
as well as embracing all cultural art forms.
Two of GLAC’s festivals are community fundraisers. GLAC recently had the Summer
Music Festival 'Paarambaryam' with money going directly to musicians suffering
from the COVID shut down. More than 600 artistes have now been aided since the
pandemic began. In the past, GLAC supported the cities of Chennai & Flint during
the Chennai floods, Flint cleanup efforts and in collecting samples for the
Susan B Komen Tissue Bank in Detroit.
