The Wuzzlewubbies Blanket Drive
We are proud to partner with local schools to help provide warm bedding for children and their families! |
When we work alongside a school or communities, we think of ourselves as true partners. That means that we don't come in with our own agenda, but rather with listening ears, ready for important conversations. While working in schools as teaching artists in 2017, we started hearing from many of our students that they were cold at night. We often partner with schools that have a high percentage of students navigating poverty, and we wanted to be thoughtful about how to address the issue. Luckily, our friends at Lincoln Public Schools Foundation (along with several Principals) shared their time with us in meaningful conversation, and from that, The Wuzzlewubbies Blanket Drive was born!
Every year, we select four to five schools we're we've been working on arts based curriculum (and year one, it was centered around surviving a blizzard in 1888!) and partner with the school's care coordinator to identify how many students are awaiting warm bedding. We use these numbers to help us set our goals, and with your help, in our first year, we were able to share 750 new or homemade blankets with schools who share their time and talent with us!
We have an official nonprofit status and are ready to raise twice the amount of blankets that we did last year. If you'd like to help us keep kids warm this winter, please click here.

Blixt Locally Grown in Action
BLIXT is a Nebraska-based arts organization that specializes in the development of new works, community building, and the stimulation of economic development through the integration of local arts and culture into all facets of life. We collaborate with communities to lift up hometown opportunities, and champion creatives as vital contributors and leaders in vibrant rural spaces.
We put arts at the center of community conversations and action plans and embrace the powerful outcomes created by co-creation. We are producers, coaches, teachers, growers, makers, friends, and a resource for any community or organization who wants to grow big, arts-powered dreams. We put relationship at the center of all we do - our work is personal and intentional and our clients are our friends.
At BLIXT, we believe that we live in an abundant world and that everything we need to live rich and creative lives already surrounds us. We can help communities, schools, and organizations identify and shine a light on local talent and resources while working together to cultivate a sustainable, locally grown arts scene.

We are located in Lincoln, Nebraska and travel to diverse communities throughout Greater Nebraska and beyond, confident of what the arts can do to cultivate creativity, grow opportunity, and build community!
