People involved in the arts and creativity, business, community development, education, and government are invited to come together at the 2025 Rural Arts and Creativity Forum, on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, in Menomonie, WI.
This year’s Forum will take place at the Mabel Tainter Theater in downtown Menomonie, a restored vintage American theater presenting a varied schedule of musical, theatrical and visual programs and events. The Forum is hosted by Create Wisconsin, Wisconsin Arts Board, and the Mabel Tainter Theater.
People from northwest Wisconsin, and every area in the state, are invited to attend the Forum. The Forum has a 30+ year history bringing together leaders involved in the arts, business, economic development, education, government, and politics, to share stories, issues, and ideas on how to grow the region creatively and help creative people, businesses and communities flourish. In the post-pandemic world, collaboration, community, transformation and opportunities have become even more important to the health and well-being of Wisconsin, its people, and its communities.
Supported by the Ruth Foundation for the Arts and WEDC Office of Rural Prosperity.
Registration will be open by July 31, 2025. There’s no charge to attend!
