2022-2024 GFWC-WI President's Special Program
Arts LIVE!
The President’s emphasis is “Arts LIVE!” This program is a collaboration between GFWC-WI and each club to encourage the support of non-professional performing arts. What a marvelous way to intertwine our passion for service, to share the GFWC name and mission in our communities, and to utilize a portion of GFWC-WI resources and directed donations in direct support of our communities.
Music, dance, humor, and performance all enhance our lives and raise our quality of life. I encourage our clubs to think of creative ways to support performance in each of our club towns and cities. It will bring joy and purpose to our neighbors and to the work we do. I genuinely look forward to reading your reports for non-professional performing arts. What a joy we will be to our towns!

Arts LIVE! Manikin Contest
You received a manikin now what are you going to do with it?
In support of President Dickman’s emphasis project each club was given an artist manikin at the 2022 State Convention to decorate and were told what does art mean to them and decorate your manikin in that medium. Maybe they are into performing arts and want to turn their manikin into a ballerina, or a textile artist will sew a costume, or maybe a fine arts artist will paint theirs. . . the possibilities ae endless. Once every club completes their art work, they are to bring them to the 2023 State Convention in Eau Claire where we will be auctioning off everyone’s masterpieces and all the money raised will be donated to the Arts LIVE project of President Dickman’s choice.
