We are grateful to the more than 1,000 individuals, organizations, companies, and local governments that emailed their lawmakers, provided testimony, passed resolutions, and registered online support encouraging state legislators to invest in Wisconsin’s creative economy as part of the new 2025-2027 biennial budget. This budget includes a provision to establish a State Film Office and offer film and TV production credits.

 

This has been a truly bipartisan effort that would not have been possible without the leadership and support of Senator Julian Bradley, Representative David Armstrong, Governor Tony Evers, and the 40 other state legislators that co-sponsored bills with these initiatives.

 

But there’s much more to do to support our local arts, culture, and creative organizations and community. Subscribe to our updates, check this space, and follow our social media feeds to learn how you can continue to help us advocate for Greater Milwaukee’s creative sector.
