Arts Midwest had the pleasure of gathering with our state arts agency partners in Madison, Wisconsin from March 20-22, 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughtfully hosted by our partners at the Wisconsin Arts Board<\/a>, this gathering welcomed Executive Directors from Iowa Arts Council, Illinois Arts Council Agency, Indiana Arts Commission, Michigan Arts and Culture Council, Minnesota State Arts Board, Ohio Arts Council, North Dakota Council on the Arts, and South Dakota Arts Council. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of Arts Midwest\u2019s commitment to bringing the nine Midwest state arts agencies together to connect and discuss needs and opportunities across the region, this summit was facilitated by Mary Margaret Schoenfeld, a longtime partner, strategist, and colleague. Our agenda spanned conversations about our shared programs and goals; new framing around innovation and cross sector work; and reminders of the public value framework that sits at the core of state arts agency work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
