WhyWOW Studio supports leaders and administrators on a mission to create real, sustained social impact. We do this by creating inspiring opportunities for dialogue and learning that sparks civic imagination.  


Through original performances, creative strategy, public space interventions, and workshops and trainings, we work with everyday leaders to reclaim the collective sensory experiences that tell the stories of their communities, and shape just futures. 

We offer the following strategic services:

  • Arts-in-Health and Creative Aging Program Development
  • Community Engagement Strategy and Implementation
  • Communication + Collaboration Coaching
  • Curriculum Development (grade school - university)
  • Arts Residencies
  • Workshop Facilitation (retreats available)
  • Executive Coaching (executive, emerging, teams, individual artists and arts workers)
  • Evaluation and Impact Assessment
  • Participatory Arts Research
  • Strategic Planning




CURRENT PROJECTS

  1. Monuments Across Appalachian Virginia, Leading a 2-year participatory evaluation process with 10 community-led artivist projects

  2. Spectrum Arts Productions, Developing Generational Bridge, a storytelling program with teens and older adults that brings shared ideas alive through theatre

  3. Lippitt Hill Critical Oral History Project with Community Health Innovations of Rhode Island, Supporting an effort to document stories about—and take action on—displacement, urban renewal, land use, spatial justice and the  housing crisis in Providence, RI

  4. Center for Arts in Medicine, Creating a tool to understand the work that the arts can do to heal social isolation


We work with an emphasis on collaborative research and ingredients for a welcoming experience that ilicit novel thinking. We are seriously playful, and we love leading processes where everyone is a teacher, everyone is a learner, and all learn together to envision a more just and beautiful future. Side effects include new abilities to navigate complex systems, leadership development, and new relationships.


We are accepting 2025 clients, collaborators, and partners.
