The 2025 Mad Lit Impact Report is here!

This year, the 2025 Mad Lit Event Series brought together over 12,000 audience members and directly supported 64 musicians, visual artists and small business owners who are Black, Indigenous and People of Color. With Black and Brown residents making about 80% of our audience, your support has allowed Mad Lit to continue creating inclusive space in the heart of downtown Madison.
