Flint Cultural Center Corporation
The FCC is managed by the Flint Cultural Center Corporation, a non-profit organization established in 1992. The FCCC's mission is to "foster cultural activity and community vitality through history, science and the arts," with a vision to position the Flint Cultural Center as a "premier regional destination, educational resource, and entertainment venue."
The FCCC is responsible for the management and maintenance of the buildings and grounds of the cultural center campus, except for the Sarvis Conference Center and the Flint Public Library. At the same time, the FCCC has "entered into sub-lease agreements with the independent Flint Institute of Arts (FIA) and Flint Institute of Music (FIM), which allows each institution to manage and maintain its building." The FIA and FIM also pay a pro rata share of the general grounds keeping costs. The FCCC manages and maintains the remaining buildings and all campus common areas and fixtures, including parking lots, lawns, sidewalks, signs, lighting fixtures, seasonal décor, gardens, and interior roadways.
The FCCC is responsible for all aspects of governance and operation of Longway Planetarium, Sloan Museum, and The Whiting. The FCCC also maintains a central administrative staff to provide additional leadership, support services, and other resources.

“I see you boys of summer in your ruin.
Man in his maggot’s barren.
And boys are full and foreign in the pouch.
I am the man your father was.
We are the sons of flint and pitch.
O see the poles are kissing as they cross.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The primary function of myth is to validate an existing social order. Myth enshrines conservative social values, raising tradition on a pedestal. It expresses and confirms, rather than explains or questions, the sources of cultural attitudes and values.... Because myth anchors the present in the past it is a sociological charter for a future society which is an exact replica of the present one.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
