PBS Wisconsin's Pressroom

The new public television documentary Wisconsin Hometown Stories: Stevens Point premieres on PBS Wisconsin 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 25. The program will also be available for free on-demand streaming online at wisconsinhometownstories.org and on the free PBS app on streaming devices and Smart TVs.

A special exhibit, “Racism: In the Face of Hate We Resist,” will be presented by Textile Center and Women of Color Quilters Network at the virtual 2021 Great Wisconsin Quilt Show. This international juried exhibit of 63 quilts shares the stories of resistance and fortitude that have been integral to the survival of Black people in America. In response to the murder of George Floyd, quilters expressed their grief, outrage and hope through stunning textile art. 

PBS Wisconsin Education and the Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA) have partnered with music educators to create a collection of classroom media resources featuring Wisconsin musicians from four distinct cultural groups, as they share a composition and discuss their musicianship, culture and identity. The resource titled, Re/sound: Songs of Wisconsin, is a collection of digital resources designed to help general music educators and learners in grades 4-8 explore the connections between music, culture and emotion.

Join PBS Wisconsin and Nancy Zieman Productions for the virtual 2021 Great Wisconsin Quilt Show from Sept. 9-11, 2021. Registration for the free event is now open at quiltshow.com.
