Milwaukee Arts Board
The Milwaukee Arts Board (MAB) was created to enhance the development, cultural diversity, accessibility and enjoyment of the arts for Milwaukee's citizens. All regular meetings of the Milwaukee Arts Board are scheduled for the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 4:00 p.m. and are held in Room 301-A of City Hall, 200 E. Wells St. Dates and location are subject to change.
Staffed by DCD, Arts Board members meet eleven times a year. The Arts Board provides a range of support to arts and community organizations that produce innovative projects or programs. Additionally, the MAB is committed to supporting public art projects that provide a sense of place, celebrating our community in city neighborhoods, parks and public spaces. For specific information about the MAB email ArtsBoard@milwaukee.gov.

Support for the Arts Each year the City of Milwaukee Arts Board awards grants to projects that enhance the arts for the citizens of Milwaukee. Grants are made to 501(c)(3) organizations based in the City of Milwaukee. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin.
Support for Public Art The Milwaukee Arts Board has been instrumental, through funding and technical support, in a number of recent public art installations. The MAB has opened a fund for the conservation of public art in the City of Milwaukee.
