The mission of Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts is to provide educational experiences in visual, performing, and literary arts for adults and children, cultivate the creativity that thrives in its rural community, and rehabilitate and preserve its historic buildings and rustic campus. The Free Arts Camp is supported by community partners, and annual family-focused events connected to the organization include the Tour of Fairy Homes, Santa Day, and a free Trick ‘r Treat event following the Mineral Point Halloween Parade. Students come from all over the country, and volunteers are drawn from the Mineral Point community.

Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts is described as Mineral Point’s nationally known 501(c)3 nonprofit school of arts and crafts. The organization’s leadership includes Executive Director Christina Kubasta, Assistant Director Jonna Wensel, Youth Program Manager Mack Champion, and a board of directors led by President Mike Christensen and Vice President David Southward. The nonprofit arts education center was launched on October 14, 2004, when local artists and community members led by founding board members Jim Kackley, Sandra Scott, and Judy Sutcliffe purchased the property and started the organization.
