Create Wisconsin Day

Tuesday, March 25, 2025
Overture Center for the Arts, 201 State Street, Madison

Presenting Create Wisconsin Day - Wisconsin’s most important statewide creative sector conference! This opportunity follows the annual Local Arts Conference, which supports further networking, technical assistance, and idea-sharing.

We expect several hundred attendees from all corners of the state to gather in Madison. The conference will feature speakers, workshops, discussions and constituent meetings. This opportunity gives everyone with experiences in the arts, business, and government to network and speak about the arts and creative economy in their communities.

Sign up for the Local and Creativity Arts Conference, too!
