In 2023, the Wichita Foundation announced a funding opportunity for three small newsrooms. Two years later, Planeta Venus, TMBP Media, and The SHOUT are proving what’s possible when independent media stays close to the people it serves.

Join founders Claudia Amaro, Latasha Eley Kelly, Emily Christensen, and Teri Mott for Small Is Beautiful, an evening to celebrate storytelling, culture, and community.

Guests can expect:
– Lively conversations fueled by music & community
– Interactive art experiences & performances by local artists
– Storytelling spotlights from each newsroom
– A silent auction featuring one-of-a-kind Wichita experiences
– ASL interpretation by Debbie Dunne
– And more!

Come ready to connect, celebrate, and support the work of three independent newsrooms reshaping how stories are told in Kansas.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
