ArtStart is a cornerstone in our community, not only bringing culture and creative experiences to a thriving downtown in the beautiful north woods of Wisconsin, but also as an active participant in community building conversations and collaborations. Officially formed in 2011, ArtStart volunteers rolled up their sleeves and opened their pocket books to renovate a building leased from the city of Rhinelander, into a modern space. The space includes two galleries, a classroom/conference room, indoor and outdoor stage and bar area. There are several office spaces which are leased to artists, music instructors, health coaches, foundations and other nonprofit organizations. Whether it's exhibitions, concerts, special events, or partner programs ArtStart is an engaged and active organization strengthening our community through arts education and cultural and community engagement.
