The Sheboygan Arts Foundation, Inc. was created in 1959 and its first board included Mrs. Walter J. Kohler III.[2] In 1966, the Kohler Foundation donated the Kohler family homestead to the Sheboygan Arts Foundation, Inc. for the use of the arts center.[3] The center was established the following year and was expanded to {{convert|100000|sqft|m2}} beginning in 2000.[1] It reaches 160,000 people each year and an estimated four million since its inception.[5] The center has ten galleries, a theater, performance and meeting spaces, studio-classrooms, an all ages/all abilities activity space known as The ARTery, an on-site retail shop called ARTspace, and a cafe named ARTcafe. The center also has an adjunct site called ARTspace at the Shops at Woodlake, which is an exhibition space and shop in the nearby village of Kohler.[1] Programming at the center includes dance performances, art exhibits, festivals, music performances, and theatre; an arts based preschool, classes, demonstrations, lectures, and tours.[4] The John Michael Kohler Arts Center has an arts/industry program, the primary component of which is a residency program at Kohler Company.[5] Artists have the opportunity to spend two to six months creating works of art utilizing industrial materials and equipment. The center is known for its artist-created public toilets,[6] which cultural historian Barbara Penner uses as the introduction to her 2013 book Bathroom.
