The Wisconsin Arts Board (WAB) receives funding from the WI State Legislature and the National
Endowment for the Arts. WAB’s grants help to ensure that cultural resources like the Peninsula
Players Theatre will continue to be integral to the quality of life in Wisconsin, and to contribute to
WI’s economic vitality.
WAB’s Creation and Presentation grants provide artistic program and operational support to

arts programming that makes a significant local, regional, or statewide impact on the cultural life
of Wisconsin, and that furthers the WAB’s community development and arts education goals.
These grants help make the arts accessible to audiences large and small, assisting groups that
undertake innovative programming, support creativity and artistic quality, engage their community,
inspire curiosity and focus on audience and patron development.
