Arts/Industry is undoubtedly the most unusual ongoing collaboration between art and industry in the United States. Hundreds of emerging and established visual artists have benefited from the Arts/Industry program at Kohler Co. since its inception in 1974.

Conceived and managed by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the residency program is open to artists worldwide. It makes industrial technologies and facilities available to artists through long-term residencies, short-term workshops, tours, and other programming so that they may further their artistic explorations. Major funding is provided by Kohler Co.

Kohler Co. is the nation’s leading manufacturer of plumbing and specialty products as well as the third largest generator manufacturer in the world.
