The eleven member commission is staffed with a full-time arts administrator. The Commission was created by ordinance in 1974 to advise the Mayor and thee Common Council on public policy matters relating to the arts. It originally began as a unit in the Parks Division of the City of Madison. Since then, it has moved to the Neighborhood Planning, Urban Design & Historic Preservation section of the Department of Planning and Community and Economic Development.

Abdu'Allah is a British artist whose work includes photography, screenprint, film, and installations. He maintains an international art practice exhibiting both in the UK and in the US. Part of his artistic projects in Madison include a strong social practice stemming from the Wisconsin idea, an expectation that scholars from the University of Wisconsin should extend their research into the community and use it to improve the health and quality of life for all citizens of the state. Thus, he has involved himself in the art community beyond the campus, supporting non-profit spaces such as the Arts & Literature Laboratory, serving on the Madison Arts Commission, and working with NIP Teens through the Madison Public Library.
Ginger Ann, Vice Chair
Ginger Ann grew up in Madison, attending Madison's public school systems k-Uni. As a PBK badger alumnus, she is trained both in the Arts and Sciences. Ginger Ann believes in supporting all people in their educational and artistic pursuits, intellectual integrity, and professional opportunities as seen in her contributions to MAC's creation of individual artist seed grants. Her performance background includes collaborations locally and abroad. Having travelled extensively, she values gained insight from cross-cultural conversations, global art and collaborative partnerships - bringing those lessons to her service as a commissioner. As a child of a single parent from a Migrant working family, she understands disadvantage, hard work and surmounting barriers; this drives Ginger Ann's commitment in building equity and shared success for community. Areas of interest include Theatre for Change and valuing diversity in the arts. Through her community service; as one of your Madison neighbors; and through her work at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery – Ginger Ann seeks to foster professional and networking opportunities for local artists that enhance our community through Creative Placemaking and programming initiatives.

In addition to serving on the Madison Arts Commission, Kia is a member of the Overture Community Advisory Board, volunteers at WORT 89.9 FM, and supports many local nonprofit agencies through musical performances at area benefit events.
Yvette Pino, Vice Chair
U.S. Army veteran Yvette M. Pino joined the Armed Forces after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Yvette was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, where she earned the rank of Sergeant. Sergeant Pino was deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2003-2004. While serving in Iraq, Yvette found a sense of solitude in creating works of art, where her art was identified and appreciated by her commanding officers, to include General David Petraeus. This earned her the unofficial title of "Division Artist." The title later followed her to her 2nd deployment to Iraq in 2005-2006, where she created more works of art, boosting the morale of her fellow troops.
As a recent BFA Recipient at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Yvette founded the Veteran Print Project. While combining her management skills learned as a non-commissioned officer with her artistic experience she has found her passion in working with prints, people and the stories they tell. Following the success of VPP, Ms. Pino created Bench Press Events as a way to continue the re-investigation of the historical portrait. Rather than focusing solely on veteran stories, Bench Press Events examines the stories of everyday people who help organizations thrive in our communities.
