Creative Conversation on Advocacy and Action – October 12, 2026

The November 3 elections are coming up in just a few weeks. We’ve got consequential races in Wisconsin: all eight House of Representative seats, Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General, half of the State Senate (odd numbered seats) and all 99 State Assemblypeople are on the ballot.  And right after the elections comes the 2027-2029 state election season.  There’s a lot of hard work ahead, and no guarantees, but right now is the best chance in a long time to stay connected, speak out, and show up for the arts and creativity locally and statewide.

Create Wisconsin, as the state’s community cultural development organization, is hosting monthly Creative Conversations about advocacy and action for the critically important gubernatorial and legislative candidate season, the state budget process, regional conferences, and, the importance of being involved in civic issues from the ground up.

Register for the next session on Monday, October 12, 2-3 pm, to learn about and discuss candidate engagement and policy development, including the new campaign to grow investment in the arts through the Wisconsin Arts Board, as we approach the general election on Tuesday, November 3. You’ll receive Zoom information when you sign up, and follow-up materials after the meeting.
