ArtStart

ArtStart went to Rhinelander city council earlier this month asking for help paying more than $175,000 for a new boiler.

ArtStart in downtown Rhinelander needs a new boiler.But because of the status of the building and the lease agreement the non-profit has with the City of Rhinelander, it’s not quite as simple as just replacing it.

ArtStart has been working with the City of Rhinelander and a group of teens and young adults in the Over It organization to bring a skatepark to Rhinelander.

ArtStart in Rhinelander is an Arts and Cultural center that has become a place where community and the arts may grow together and be cultivated.

Thriving art scenes help build thriving communities.It’s one of the driving concepts behind ArtStart and why the organization has been working so hard for several years to build an accessible, outdoor art space.That vision is becoming a reality thanks in part to a $42,000 grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.

Art can take many forms as students in the School District of Rhinelander are learning.For weeks now, middle and high school students have been taking part in the Game Design and Development Lab put together by ArtStart, the school district, and Nicolet College.
