About Us

Arts Wisconsin (formerly Wisconsin Assembly for Local Arts) has a 10+ year history as the only multi-disciplinary, non-profit membership organization speaking up for the arts in Wisconsin. We believe everyone in Wisconsin should experience the arts, and that the arts and culture are at the core of the quality of life in Wisconsin and all of its communities.
