Where Art Comes Alive And Community Moves Together
Music. Dance. Theater. Visual Arts. MaddBear Arts Foundation fuels creativity, empowers artists, and brings the northwest suburbs to life through the power of performance and expression.
Why We Exist
At MaddBear Arts Foundation, we believe the arts are the soul of a community—the rhythm that connects us, the stories that shape us, and the expression that defines us.
We empower artists through grants, mentorship, and opportunities that allow creativity to thrive not just survive.
Your support helps artists create, perform, and grow. From live music and dance to bold new creative work, every contribution makes a real impact in our community.
One hundred percent of your donation goes directly to supporting artists and creative programs. Learn more by clicking here.
Why Your Support Matters
Every performance, every project, and every opportunity starts with support from people who believe in the power of the arts. Your contribution helps artists continue creating, performing, and inspiring others.
Experience the Energy
From intimate performances to full scale productions, MaddBear Productions brings the arts to life in ways that are powerful, personal, and unforgettable.
Through our MBAF Inspiration Grant, MBAF Vision Grant, and MBAF Director’s Grants, we support artists and organizations that help define and enrich our local cultural landscape.
