Creativity Matters • Justice & Equity
2024-02-13 19:00 - 20:30 | UU Wausau, 504 Grant Street, Wausau, WI, 54403, United States
“Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.”
Bertolt Brecht

February’s Creativity Matters theme is “justice & equity.” In this session, we will explore how art and creativity can help us heal from injustice and shape a more just and equitable world.

Before the session, spend some time with our reflection questions:

When was the first time you witnessed art support a struggle for justice?

Has art and creativity ever helped you heal from an injustice?Do you believe that artists can change the world? If so, exactly how do they do that?

Projects of the Month

We will have supplies for Project Option A, C, and E from the monthly Creativity Matters packet*

The Emotional Side of Injustice Art

Resistance Art

Artistically Amplify Your Favorite Justice Quote

What is Creativity Matters?

It’s all about allowing our intuition and imagination to guide us, not just our logic and reflective minds. Think of it as making room for your right brain to dance with your left brain.

Blood Drive
2024-02-12 10:00 - 15:00 | WI
On February 12, we will roll up our sleeves and help save lives. We will proudly partner with the American Red Cross to hold what we expect to be the first of many blood drives. The Red Cross has over 135 years of experience providing humanitarian aid including more than 75 years of supplying blood to those in need.

Each pint of blood we collect can help save up to three lives and will touch the lives of so many more. What a great way to pay it forward and make an impact on people in our community and across the country. We are very excited about the drive and I hope you are too.

There are many ways you can help, but most importantly we hope you come out to donate. It’s not every day that we do something that has such an impact. Let’s blow this out of the water! Thank you for making First UU Church of Wausau what it is. We look forward to seeing you at the blood drive.

BONUS! Give with your whole heart and earn a $20 Amazon.com gift card when you donate blood on February 12 here at the First UU Church of Wausau.

Walk-in’s are welcome, but signing up for a spot is preferred.
