Next Deadline: October 2024​​

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.

The ACI Capacity Building for Minority Organizations Grant Program works with Wisconsin's racially diverse nonprofit arts organizations to build their organizational capacity and long-term sustainability. Only eligible nonprofit organizations with substantial policy, management and artistic control by members of the African-American, Hispanic-American, Native American, or Asian-American communities can apply to this program. This means that the majority of the artists, board, and administrative staff of the applicant are of the community of color on which the organization focuses its primary mission/service.
