The artists of Organic Arts Ltd., a 501c3 educational non-profit located in Milwaukee, WI, have served schools and educational organizations with grassroots professional arts educational experiences for over 20 years each.
These are the very artists who have dedicated their lives and careers to bringing assembly programs, workshops, in-services, and residences to schools throughout the Midwest presenting literally thousands of hand-on events.
Organic Arts Ltd. was created as a co-operative of some of the state’s most prolific performing artists to address unique approaches to fundraising, planning, and delivery of the arts from the “old masters” to our children.

Our current artists include:

*David HB Drake’s “Wiscon-Sing” or, “Heartland”, multimedia musical histories of Wisconsin or Illinois, "What a Wonderful World (ecology) "Kidstuff" (little kid singalongs), programs on the Great Lakes and workshops on history and peacemaking.
