This month, five Detroit arts groups are vying for the Knight Arts Challenge People’s Choice Award, a $20,000 prize the winner can use for a project of their choice. The award is one of the ways Knight aims to bring attention to small arts organizations and their impact on the city. Here, KnightArts.org has a quick word with Sherrine Azab and Jake Hooker of nominee A Host of People, a theater group celebrating the DIY movement in food and the arts. Vote for the group by texting Detroit1 to 22333, and learn about the other nominees at knightarts.org/peopleschoice. Q. What do you love most about your arts group? A. We love the experimentation. When we begin, we don’t know where we’re going to end. We love collaboration. Everybody in our process -- performers, designers, musicians and especially the audience -- are part of the generation of the work. We’re all making it together. And because of all of that creative combustion, what we make, is big, bold, visually arresting, thought provoking and fun. Q. What would you do with the $20,000 People’s Choice award? A. Part of the funds will go directly towards our upcoming production The Harrowing; part will go towards renovating our attic into a rehearsal space/chamber theater where we can develop this and future works; and part will go towards establishing a mobile bike cafe that we can take to events and other neighborhoods in order to get the word out about our own work as well as that of other artists in Detroit. Q. Three words or phrases your fans would use to describe your work? A. Welcoming, transportive, captivating
