Here’s a structured overview of the Wisconsin Administrative Code – Arts Board (Agency AB):

The Arts Board’s rules are grouped by chapter under Chapter AB, each focusing on a specific program or regulatory area (regulations.justia.com, wirules.elaws.us):
Chapter AB 1 – Eligibility Requirements
Defines who’s eligible for grants, outlines the application process, review procedures, and award criteria (regulations.justia.com).
Chapter AB 2 – Arts Challenge Initiative Grants
Details the rules governing Arts Challenge grants (often structured as matching or incentive grants; specific sections require reviewing the code directly).
Chapter AB 3 – Regranting Program
Establishes how the Board distributes funds through local arts agencies
Purpose: “to encourage local involvement in support, promotion, and administration of the arts…” (wirules.elaws.us, law.cornell.edu).
