Artist-centered and driven to connect creatives and engage audiences.
WINMI focuses on the unseen work that goes into making art -- shining a light on the struggles and failures that often precede the beauty of creation. The goal is for fellow creatives to feel welcome and supported, giving them space to contribute and collaborate, while providing audiences with both laughter and inspiration in the shared experience.
PODCASTS
It began in 2017 with interviews of fellow creatives, talking about their challenges and lessons learned, leading to a Communicator Award in 2022. Then came a limited series focused on arts organizations. Next up is narrative theater history on famous and forgotten Broadway shows that closed too soon.
