This year, the Wisconsin Arts Board invested in the work of 5 arts organizations through the Woodland Indian Arts grant program.
The Woodland Indian Arts Program is designed to promote and develop a foundation of cultural and economic support for traditional and contemporary Native American arts in Wisconsin. As part of this work, the Arts Board annually distributes funds from Gaming Compact monies to support artistic activities among Wisconsin's tribes, bands and urban Indian communities.
