The La Pointe Center (LPC) is pleased to launch the Grants for the Arts Program.
The La Pointe Center for the Arts Grant is a one-year grant offered by La Pointe Center (LPC) and is supported in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board, with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
The La Pointe Center for the Arts provides grants to local artists, allowing artists and groups to develop and grow as well as bring art to the Madeline Island and the Chequamegon Bay area. They’ve been around over 30 years and have touched so many who have been inspired by the beauty of the Apostle Islands.
