The purpose of the Detroit Metro Area Musicians & Entertainers Association (DMAMEA) is to make an easily accessible avenue for Detroiters who are involved in the performing arts and provide an opportunity to participate within a performing arts association, giving them a chance to share common resources, privileges, and services that are "exclusive" to it's members.A great way DMAMEA serves musicians & entertainers is as a support system. For years, DMAMEA has made venues available within the performing arts arena and assisted with financial support during bereavement, medical cost and other issues.As an interest group, DMAMEA works on behalf of the people of the City of Detroit and Metropolitan areas to assist in bringing forth recognition for the honorable status Detroit possesses as "The Music Capital of the World".

A LITTLE HISTORY.........DMAMEA was formed in 1985 by our President, Leslie Ferguson and Annie Eckman. From the very first picnic, the concept was welcomed by all. Everyone knew there was a need for this association and wanted to be a part of it. Through the years, members came and went but our founders stood strong with their commitment to support artists. Many benefits, fundraisers and funerals took place before the need really grabbed hold of its benefactors and moved them to be a devoted and vested member. Our President & CEO kept the commitment and awaited the support of others. It was 2005 before DMAMEA was officially formed by Leslie Ferguson, Gwen Foxx, Jackie Gilliard, Thornetta Davis, Adrianne Reynolds and yes, Annie Eckman. These wonderful ladies have worked hard to bring DMAMEA where it is today. They are all well established in the business and bring with them a talent that demands the attention of all within an ear's distance. Today, DMAMEA has a strong membership and has much to offer its members. Youth Mentorship, Bereavement Assistance to Health Benefits and mere moral support are just a few of the many ways they are there for one another.
