Wisconsin Tele-Stories Celebration
2021-06-25
Since April 2021, TimeSlips artists have engaged in creative conversations by telephone with 40 elders from the Central and Northeastern regions of Wisconsin. This online celebration marks the conclusion of this Tele-Stories project, and shares heartfelt stories from the calls as well as beautiful artwork inspired by elder caller participants. Hear from the artist facilitators, elder participants, as well as our aging service partners to get a well rounded view of our Tele-Stories programming.
This project was made possible by a grant provided by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies in partnership with Aroha Philanthropies, with support through the Wisconsin Arts Board.

TimeSlips Spring Festival: Pandemic Engagement 2.0
2021-04-15
This video was a part of the TimeSlips Spring Festival and streamed live on April 15, 2021.
In March of 2020, life as we knew it ceased to exist. As care communities closed their doors to visitors, and caregivers were separated from those for whom they cared, TimeSlips launched a series of virtual resources for our community. But when the TimeSlips community took up the challenge of remote (or safely distanced) engagement, we all learned what physical limitations could bring to creative life. Join a panel conversation led by TimeSlips Founder, Anne Basting, as she engages TimeSlips facilitators from around the world, learning from them how they have kept creativity and joy alive for more than a year, and what they’re planning next.
