Created in 1998, the Arts Institute is an intercollege unit of the College of Letters & Science, the School of Education and the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Governed by arts faculty and staff, the Arts Institute exists to foster and celebrate the arts, broadly understood as integral and essential to the University’s mission. It does so by integrating campus arts programs, providing opportunities to experience and understand diverse cultures and the arts created within them, facilitating cross-departmental projects, and serving as a resource to the larger campus community.

The Arts on Campus website is a collaborative project sponsored by the Arts Institute and University Communications in cooperation with campus arts units and organizations, and with the support of the Evjue Foundation.
