We can’t wait for Saturday!

Everyone is invited to celebrate art and culture during Hispanic Heritage Month at the Glass Box Studio in Wausau on Saturday, October 10 between 1 and 4 pm!

Inspired by the textile designs of Zapotec weaver, Wence Martinez, currently on display at the James Watrous Gallery in Madison, this free, drop-in community weaving activity highlights the connections between Mexico and Wisconsin through traditional artmaking.

We are excited to introduce Tiffany Rodriguez-Lee our Director of Arts and Fellows at the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts & Letters. She is responsible for statewide arts programming, including Poetry & Pi(e), and the Academy’s Fellows’ Program; she also oversees the James Watrous Gallery. As a poet, an arts advocate, and community leader, connecting communities through creativity is what fuels her work.

Rodriguez-Lee deeply values expression and the power of words—as a keen reader and poet herself! Her heritage, with roots in Puerto Rico, continually inspires her commitment to diverse voices. She looks forward to connecting with new people across the state who see value in the arts’ ability to build bridges and enrich Wisconsin life.

Tiffany Rodriguez-Lee led the Center for Visual Arts in Wausau for three years as the Executive Director prior to her new position at the Wisconsin Academy. She is the former Poet Laureate of Wausau and holds a Bachelor’s in Marketing and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
