PodPaca is teaming up with the ARTicipation Week festivities hosted by the Waupaca Community Arts Board to bring you an episode that is all about the arts! We first talk to Poet James Hamilton who is currently touring around the midwest. He shares his new poem "Beat" and why poetry means so much to him. We then talk to Create Wisconsin's Anne Katz who tells us about the current state of arts in the state of Wisconsin, her fight for more government funding, and how she helps both small towns and large cities grow their art scenes throughout the state.
