FY25 Creation & Presentation Program Now Open

​​Creation and Presentation Program (CPP) grants provide artistic program and operational support to established nonprofit arts organizations whose primary mission is to create or present ongoing arts programming that makes a significant local, regional, or statewide impact on the cultural life of Wisconsin, and that furthers the Arts Board’s community development and arts education goals (see the Arts Board’s strategic plan).

The program supports 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organizations with strong operations - including stable management, ongoing assessment and evaluation, high artistic quality, and programming appropriate to the communities they serve. These grants also fund overall operating support for eligible arts programs of tribal governments and universities. In these cases, the organizations will use either government or university nonprofit status.

For information on how to apply, to access the program guidelines, and to access the application form, please go to the Creation & Presentation Program page​ of our website.

Applicants applying for the first time are invited to join a Zoom meeting on July 16 at 2pm by sending an email to: artsboard@wisconsin.gov​.
