The Bubbler at Madison Public Library is a hub that connects artists to the community and the community to artists through free, hands-on making, exhibitions, and community-wide events.

Learn more about us.

The Bubbler’s hub is at Madison Central Library (211 W. Mifflin St.), but we provide programming and support in all nine of the city’s libraries, in schools, in the justice system, and beyond.

Learn more about our locations and programs on the Where We Are page.

Please check the Madison Public Library’s Bubbler event calendar.

Age restrictions might apply to some workshops. If age restrictions are in place, it will be noted in the program description.

Many workshops are connected to artist residencies. You can learn more about current residencies and visit the Madison Public Library’s event calendar for program descriptions.

All programs are free of charge.

We open applications for exhibitions and projects and residencies on a rolling basis. Check out the links below for more detailed information about opportunities as they become available:
