Arts organizations depend on the participation and generosity of their communities, and The Forst Inn Arts Collective is no exception. We are committed to nurturing rich and diverse cultural, educational, and artistic experiences while maintaining and preserving its historic setting in Tisch Mills. Each year we depend on the support of our patrons to provide stipends to our artists, support the technical requirements of our productions, and to develop new events and programs for you to enjoy.

"I support The Forst Inn Arts Collective because it is "the best in show" and entertainment in Northeastern Wisconsin. It plans the perfect forecast for each artistic season and births quality productions utilizing amazingly talented and dedicated artistic people. Each and every genre that they produce reminds me of what it is really like to be human. PS, I love how I feel when I'm with them!" - Ginger Auld

Although our stipends for artists are modest, in 2021 we paid our artists over $25,000 for their valuable creative contribution. At the same time, we are currently operating with a volunteer Executive Director and minimal paid support staff. In the long run, we need to increase our ability to recruit and compensate paid staff, and in order to do that we need to increase our annual patron support.
During the past four years we have raised approximately $20,000 each year for this purpose, and while we embark on our ambitious Capital Campaign goals, our need for this support remains. Ideally, our annual fundraising in this regard needs to increase by 50% or more over the next two years. |
