Nonprofits of the Northwoods: Appreciating Art from a Social Distance

ArtStart Facebook

WXPR’s Nonprofits of the Northwoods spotlights organizations in our area that are working to strengthen the community – whether that’s by lending a hand to someone in need, educating about the arts, or caring for the environment.

ArtStart is a Rhinelander organization that fosters creativity by making art accessible to everyone.

They’re involved in projects that range from a Free-for-Wall Quarantine art exhibition showcasing pandemic creations to Valentine’s Day singing grams featuring local musicians.

Listen to the full interview with Community Cultural Development Director Melinda Childs for more about ArtStart’s efforts to showcase Northwoods art.

Erin Gottsacker worked at WXPR as a Morning Edition host and reporter from December 2020 to January 2023. During her time at the station, Erin reported on the issues that matter most in the Northwoods.
