The Partnership for the Arts & Humanities is a nonprofit organization with a mission to develop a culture of the arts and humanities in Western Wayne and Eastern Washtenaw counties. Since our conception in December 1998 we have raised millions of dollars to help establish and expand art and humanities programs in our community while striving to preserve the landscape of past generations.

In August of 2012, we acquired a 14 acre parcel in Canton’s historic Cherry Hill Village District. This picturesque, rural settlement was the site of Henry Ford’s last, most unique and least publicized village industry. We are now open and the home to some of the region’s most creative artists!
Cut Short is a permanent outdoor memorial garden that consists of twenty-one 6 x 6-inch white posts placed in lines like the white crosses of Arlington National Cemetery. However, posts are cut in various lengths representing those who served a full career and those whose lives were “cut short.”
Our initial efforts were centered on raising private funds for the construction of The Village Theater at Cherry Hill. We were successful in raising more than $5 million toward the construction and operation of The Village Theater, a 400-seat premiere performing arts center. The center is home to a number of Western Wayne County performing arts organizations, including: an orchestra, band, chorale groups, youth, adult and senior drama theatre.
