Arts + Literature Laboratory is a community-driven contemporary arts center supporting the visual, literary, and performing arts through an active calendar of exhibitions, readings, concerts, and educational programs. We bring together resources, people, and space to empower artists and writers to take risks that transcend formal and conceptual boundaries. Our programs foster critical and imaginative dialogue towards equitable social transformation—actively challenging audiences while prioritizing accessibility and community responsiveness.

ALL’s 10,500 square foot space in Madison’s downtown Capitol East District houses galleries and performance space, a writing center and small press library, artist studios, and a dedicated education studio.
