Annual Poetry Marathon & Benefit - Sponsor an Hour

Annual Poetry Marathon & Benefit - Sponsor an Hour

Woodland Pattern's Poetry Marathon is an annual tradition for poets from Milwaukee and the Great Lakes region, and in recent years has expanded to also include poets from around the country. This year's event will take place on January 25th and 26th in the Arc Theater at Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel. The event will also be live-streamed, and will include both live and virtual performances from approximately 250 participants.

Funds raised from the Poetry Marathon will provide fuel for more than 400 free programs in poetry and the arts in 2025, including for public initiatives like the Milwaukee Youth Poet Laureate Program and the Milwaukee Emerging Poet Fellowship.

Participating poets have been asked to raise a minimum of $50 each in sponsorships on their behalf. These funds will be matched by a sponsor for each hour and further supported by major sponsorships. Together these funds will provide vital support for Woodland Pattern’s programming in literature and the arts in 2025.

To underwrite an hour of this year's Poetry Marathon, please select the $500 level of sponsorship and include any preferences regarding the hour you want to support.

For information about sponsorship benefits or higher levels of sponsorship, or if you would simply like to learn more, please give us a call at 414-263-5001.
