About Us 

The Wisconsin Academy is a lifelong learning organization created by and for the people of Wisconsin. Think of us as an open-ended course in which Wisconsinites learn about—and from—the best our state has to offer. Through free and low-cost programs and publications that explore, explain, and sustain Wisconsin thought and culture, we work to connect Wisconsin people and ideas for a better world.

We believe that learning is for everyone, at every age, and that participation in the sciences, arts, and letters is essential for living a good life. Our approach to lifelong learning is unique: We offer objective and informative articles and reports, but also engaging experiences—both in person and online—across the disciplines. This approach inspires discovery, illuminates creative work, and fosters civil dialogue on the important issues—all of which is needed today more than ever.
