The Northern Lakes Center for the Arts presents
The 21st Annual Rural Arts Conference
for Northwestern Wisconsin
We are once again inviting local arts agencies in northwestern
Wisconsin to come together to share successes and ideas how we
can help the arts flourish in our part of Wisconsin. Join us
in the discussions about local networking, statewide resourcing,
and the economic impact of the arts. Our special guests will
include (hopefully) George Tzougros and (certainly) Anne Katz,
Executive Director of Arts Wisconsin, who will share ideas with
us about the creative economy, the importance of arts and
cultural tourism and, of course, an update on recent events
and concerns, including the present and future possibilities
relating to the Wisconsin Arts Board. This year will include
a special presentation to State Senator Sheila Harsdorf
recognizing her support of the arts in Wisconsin. Please come
and share in Senator Harsdorf’s recognition. Registration
is free of charge. There will be coffee, juice and sweet-rolls
for everyone at 9:00 a.m. with the main agenda beginning at
