Our Story

Founded in 1985, ARTS for ALL Wisconsin is a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. For almost 40 years we have been guided by the belief that the arts are a universal and essential language that challenge people to respond to the world, look beyond themselves, and celebrate diversity by building bridges between people, across cultures and through generations. This foundational tenet is now more important than ever and we are determined to ensure that the power of the arts are accessible to people seeking equality, respect, and justice.

Our Mission

To expand the capabilities, confidence, and quality of life for children and adults with disabilities by providing programs in dance, drama, creative writing, music, and visual art.

  • Experiences in the arts enhance personal growth, increase educational achievement, and enable career success
  • The arts are a universal and essential language that challenge people to respond to the world, look beyond themselves, and celebrate diversity by building bridges between people, across cultures and through generations
  • Participation in the arts by individuals with disabilities promotes acceptance and inclusion in all aspects of life.
