The Artists Series is funded by the students of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire through an allocation of student segregated fees by the Finance Commission of the Student Senate. According to Wisconsin State Statute 36.09(5), students shall have the primary responsibility of recommending the allocation of student segregated fees. A portion of every student’s tuition is contributed to over 20 organized activities that include the Artists Series and other entities via allocation through the Finance Commission.
The Artists Series is committed to the concept of non-discrimination as related to race, creed, sexual orientation, age and physical disability.

The Wisconsin Arts Board is the state agency that nurtures creativity, cultivates expression, promotes the arts, supports the arts in education, stimulates community and economic development and serves as a resource for people of every culture and heritage. Creation and Presentation grants provide artistic program and operational support to established nonprofit arts organizations whose primary mission is to create or present ongoing arts programming that makes a significant local, regional or statewide impact on the cultural life of Wisconsin, and that furthers the Arts Board’s community development and arts education goals. The Artists Series appreciates the support it receives from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
