The Directory of Wisconsin's Local Arts Agencies provides contact names and detailed information about each of the state's local arts agencies and community arts organizations. The most comprehensive of its kind ever conducted, this report brings compelling new evidence that the nonprofit arts are a significant industry in Wisconsin, supporting jobs and stimulating the state economy. It provides details for both those interested in attending and those who wish to exhibit or sell work. Sponsors of Wisconsin art and craft fairs may list their show in the following year's directory by filling out a questionnaire form available each fall. The Percent for Art Program offers .02 percent of construction costs associated with select, state-owned buildings for the commission and purchase of visual art.
Artists placed on the mailing list receive information about active acquisition projects.
The Arts Challenge Initiative program encourages nonprofit arts organizations to leverage income from private sources. This program provides state funds to arts organizations that meet or exceed their total eligible income generated during the previous year. Community Development Project Grants were created to advance community arts development. Wisconsin Regranting Program provides funds to local arts agencies and their partner community foundations around the state.
