What does a sustainable future look like? On Thursday, September 25, a small group of concerned citizens will host a first-time event called Dialogues for a Sustainable Future. All interested members of the public are encouraged to attend for an informal discussion of potential steps that can move communities towards the goals of healthy and sustainable agriculture, energy systems, transportation, and homes.

The purpose of the forum is to help increase public awareness of what sustainability means and how it can be pursued. We are a small group of people from the Chippewa Valley region who work or have worked in education, natural resources, community organizing, and other fields. We may not be experts in all aspects of sustainability, but we have connections to people who address the issue of sustainability with distinctive approaches and skill sets.

To us, sustainability is a goal worth pursuing so that the health of the planet and ourselves is maintained as well as we can for future generations. At this time, while there is some progress towards sustainability in some key areas, our society as a whole is not moving toward a sustainable future and want to help change that through education, organization, and building capacity in the community.

This dialogue is a small step towards a deeper understanding of what sustainability means and why it is important that individuals and organizations consider taking action. Please join us as we take this small important step towards a wider community conversation and action in the future.

Think you can't draw a stick figure to save your life? Perfect. That's exactly the point.

Join Mike and Renee for a night of trash art, good food, and big laughs with dinner from Guac and Roll included. Bring your partner-in-crime (whether that's your spouse, your best friend, or anyone brave enough to share in your questionable artistic glory) and face off in the ugliest art showdown of the year.

Expect:

🎨 A bad art competition where the worse your skills, the better your chances.

🎨 Prizes for the most spectacular disasters.

🎨 Dinner that makes up for your lack of talent

🎨 Art battles, burritos, and plenty of time to explore the Chippewa Valley Museum.

It's a fun, substance-free way to laugh, eat, and connect with others - while unleashing the creative trash gremlin that lives somewhere deep in your heart.

Lighthearted banter welcome, but no pressure...your art will be ridiculous enough on its own. :D

Please note: Tickets are non-refundable within 48 hours of the event.

This event is partially funded through a grant provided by the Eau Claire City-County Health Department. If cost is a barrier, please use code ECHD2025 at checkout to attend this event for FREE, no questions asked.
