ABOUT US… The Arts Mill

The Arts Mill is a division of North Shore Academy of the Arts, a not-for-profit organization offering quality opportunities in the visual, performing and literary arts. As we move into the next chapter of our growth, we have opened this satellite location to further our mission of supporting the arts. The Arts Mill is situated in the historic Grafton Mill located at 1300 14th Ave. Grafton, WI adjacent to the Milwaukee River and two blocks from our home site. The newly renovated 3rd floor of the mill will host many exciting NSAA events and is also available for our community to rent for private parties. Our 2nd floor has been renovated to house our art studios, which supports local artists in their discipline while giving the public the opportunity to view live artists at work. Within the studio space is the Arts Mill Boutique, developed to encourage the pursuit of artistic careers. It is a wonderful mix of gift items and creative accessories developed by local artists from Milwaukee and Southeastern, WI.

Funds to renovate the Arts Mill have largely been provided by Kapco, Inc.    Donations are still being accepted. Kapco, Inc. has offered to match funds up to $5000.  Please email Arts Mill Director Paula Christensen if you are interested in making a donation.  paulac@northshoreacademyofthearts.org
