Northern Arts Council Grants

Formed in 1969 to develop and sponsor art and cultural events in Northern Wisconsin, the Northern Arts Council (NAC) is the longest-continuing local arts group in the state.  Available grant funds are dependent on NAC's membership program. Grants are reviewed and awarded case-by-case, evaluated on merit.
