We’re celebrating Arts & Humanities month by highlighting our one-of-a kind training program called Community Powered.

Community Powered trainings are grounded in effective and useful processes for recognizing the unique strengths, stories, and visions at the heart of every ...community.

WH Fellows join a strong statewide network and gain new strategies — a Community Powered toolkit! — that focus on documenting and using history, culture, and storytelling to make communities stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

Hands-on and virtual workshops train Fellows with new tools for sharing local stories and cultural heritage through engaging humanities programs. It’s all about strengthening democracy by strengthening community ties — especially with other Wisconsinites who have different life experiences, beliefs, or identities.

➞ Apply to become a WH Fellow! Wisconsin Humanities is now accepting applications for our 2025 Community Powered training. Join us for an Info Session on Zoom on Tuesday, October 29th at 6pm. Register to receive the Zoom link for the Info Session on our website (LINK IN BIO TO COMMUNITY POWERED)

Artists are everywhere, including in prisons. When the organizers of an exhibit called ‘Art Against the Odds’ put out a call for submissions, they were flooded with responses from incarcerated artists who had been working without support, formal ...programs, or materials.

A brand new episode of WH’s Human Powered podcast introduces Joshua Gresl, John Tyson, and Sarah Demerath, three of the more than sixty artists whose work is part of an exhibition organized by @portraitsocietygallery and supported in part with a grant from WI Humanities.
