Performance by Lavanyaa Surendar for Prithvi Finearts

The 2024 Wisconsin Arts Celebration Project (WACP) will center on the theme of “Curiosity”. As Sir Ken Robinson once said, "“If teachers can keep the flame of curiosity burning in children, then pretty much everything else will follow from that. Curiosity is the engine of achievement." This year's project will launch on this website around October 18, 2024. https://dpi.wi.gov/fine-arts/wacp-2024-biographies
