Madison Community Foundation Awards $75,000 to ART House 360
Multicultural Arts Center Expands Vision for Community Wellness Through the Arts
VERONA, WI — ART House 360 will receive a $75,000 grant from the Madison Community Foundation (MCF) to support its capital campaign to advance its mission of cultivating greater wellness and community connection through the arts.
This generous contribution will help ART House 360 deepen its mission-centered work — fostering community wellness, creative connection, and belonging through the arts. With renovations of the historic Verona schoolhouse now complete, the organization is shifting from construction to activation. The building is ready, and the work ahead focuses on bringing its vision to life: using creativity as a catalyst for healing, collaboration, and joy. With MCF’s support, ART House 360 has now raised over $1.9 million toward its $3 million goal to sustain programming and community initiatives.
Major partners already include the City of Verona, Dane County, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), as well as local individuals, businesses, and foundations who believe in ART House 360’s mission to make arts accessible for all. In 2025, Madison Community Foundation (MCF) awarded $1.4 million in grants from its Community Impact Fund to 30 local nonprofits. These grants help organizations strengthen operations, grow to meet community needs, and seize opportunities that enrich the Madison region. For over 80 years, MCF has connected generous donors with causes that improve lives and strengthen Dane County through philanthropy, partnerships, and leadership in education, environment, the arts, and community wellbeing.
