In 1989, The Al. Ringling Theatre Friends (ART Friends), a
community-based non-profit arts organization purchased the Al.
Ringling Theatre. Through a Board of Directors,
staff, and volunteers, ART Friends is
dedicated to offering a full range of arts and cultural
activities to the community, while making every effort to
preserve the historical integrity of the Theatre.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, ART Friends relies on
funding from a variety of community sources, including earned
revenue through movies and live performances, corporate
sponsorships, donations, fund raisers, and public funding.
Critical to the future success of ART Friends is the strong
community base of support found through our members. A membership
in ART Friends provides the foundation for developing
existing programming, creating new opportunities for cultural
activities, contributing to community development, revitalizing
downtown Baraboo, and preserving this glorious architectural and
historical gem.
In addition to the membership options listed below, you may
also contribute toward the preservation of this national and
community treasure through the Capital Campaign Restoration
Project.
