Arts Day 2018 Calls for ‘Wisconsin Creates’ Legislation

Arts Day 2018 will take place March 21, 2018, at the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison. On Arts Day, hundreds of arts, organization, business, political, governmental and civic leaders will come together to speak up for artistic opportunities, creative expression and civic engagement. Arts Day is a great opportunity to show the power, benefit and impact of the arts in every corner of Wisconsin.

On Arts Day, arts, business, education, political, governmental, and civic leaders from across Wisconsin will call for the establishment of Wisconsin Creates, a new community cultural development program and a 21st century strategy to invest in creative people, institutions, businesses, and communities throughout Wisconsin. Senate Bill #284 and Assembly Bill #393 to establish Wisconsin Creates have passed two legislative committees and are currently in front of the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee.
