Join colleagues and friends involved in the arts, creativity and community in northwestern Wisconsin, to discuss and celebrate new beginnings.

Now we are finally able to come together, let’s share stories and ideas how to grow the region creatively and help creative people, businesses and communities flourish in the post-pandemic era. If you are involved in the arts, culture and creativity in your community, you’ll want to be involved in the Forum’s discussions about creativity, transformation, and capacity as we all create a new normal.

Special guests:

  • Kietra Olson of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation’s Office of Rural Prosperity will be on hand to speak about rural economic, workforce, and community development and placemaking/placekeeping
  • George Tzougros, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Arts Board
  • Anne Katz, Executive Director of Arts Wisconsin.

Check-in begins with coffee, juice and sweet-rolls at 9:00 am, with the main agenda beginning at 10 am. The Forum will end by 4 pm. There will be plenty of time for all of us to share events and ideas with one another.

Admission and lunch are free and open to all. Thanks for registering (click here) – it’s not mandatory to register to attend, but it helps us know how many people to plan for.
