Last December, Arts Midwest announced our new strategy frame—reaffirming our commitment to Midwestern creativity, and to supporting, informing, and celebrating the Midwest.
Since then, we’ve worked with our partners and community to put our mission and vision into action. In Fiscal Year 2023, our programs and services reached 354,262 people in 140 Midwestern communities. We also made $2,527,146 in grants to 259 Midwestern organizations. Our grantees have conducted residencies for Native artists and culture bearers; held a performance series featuring formerly-incarcerated artists; presented a musical based on a true story about a gay biker gang; and much, much more.
