media release: Much has been learned about creating connections and community since March 2020, when the pandemic arrived and led to significant changes in public and in-person programming of ARTS for ALL Wisconsin (AFA). We have taken these lessons to heart and our first Telethon was a logical extension of the important work of reaching out to our network and communities, building awareness, and generating support. It was such a success that we’re doing it again!

The 2nd Annual ARTS for ALL Wisconsin Telethon, beginning at 1 pm on Nov. 13, is a multi-hour, live, online event featuring entertainment from all kinds of artists, including music, dance, visual artmaking, storytelling, actors and much more. "Our Telethon is a wonderful opportunity to share the work we do with everyone," says Executive Director Christina Martin-Wright. "It is also a chance to showcase the amazing talent and skill of so many artists with disabilities in Wisconsin – and highlight the good work of like-minded nonprofit organizations throughout the state.” There are multiple ways for viewers to show their support, including a text-to-donate option. As always with AFA a critical aspect of the event is recognition of artists with disabilities and our communities of support.
