The League of Wisconsin Municipalities in partnership with Create Wisconsin, is seeking a Wisconsin artist or artist collaborative to share or co-create their work as the first Artist-in-Residence at the League’s 126th Annual Fall Conference. Submissions can be in any artistic medium and/or media and are due Friday, August 30, 2024.
The conference will be held at the Madison Marriott West in Middleton from October 23-25, 2024.
Compelling proposals should entail community-engaged practice or bring the gathered community into the creative process. The proposed art can be in the form of a story, digital, dance, visual arts, theater, music, etc.
“Wisconsin is home to many, many artists”, says League Executive Director, Jerry Deschane. “They are what make our communities vibrant and it is fitting to have them be a part of the annual gathering and idea-sharing of local leaders.”
The League of Wisconsin Municipalities, established in 1898, is Wisconsin’s advocacy and service organization for all Wisconsin cities and villages. The League’s 126th Annual Fall Conference is a place for municipal staff and elected officials to find encouragement in a community of local government enthusiasts, share experiences, and together create the future.
The 2024 conference will uplift stories of excellent community service, inspirational ideas, and practical solutions. The League provides the building blocks to create better organizations and communities, and attendees will walk away with inspiring, creative ideas and opportunities.
Create Wisconsin, the state’s community cultural development organization, is coordinating the proposal process in partnership with the League.
“Artisans are an essential component of the state’s exceptional quality of life, we are excited to showcase them at our event,” said Deschane. To view the project qualifications and submit a proposal, visit https://tinyurl.com/LeagueMuniAIR.
