Land Acknowledgment
Founded in 2017, SAGE has been grateful for the opportunity to engage with the Green Bay community since our beginning. We acknowledge that the land that inspires us, grounds us, and affords us the opportunity to create is the ancestral home of the Ho-Chunk Nation and the Menominee Nation, WHO are the first peoples of Wisconsin. We are humbled to work within a community that exists upon land of such historical, spiritual, and cultural significance, and amidst the sovereign native American nations WHO continue to contribute to area in which we reside.

THE SOCIAL PRESCRIPTION CALENDAR IS ONE YEAR OLD!
SAGE is proud to hit a milestone with the Social Prescription Calendar! It’s been serving Brown County for ONE FULL YEAR!
Launched on Social Prescribing Day in 2025, the calendar is a collaborative effort between SAGE and more than 20 entities throughout Brown County. In October 2025 SAGE received a Proclamation of Support for social prescribing by the mayor of Green Bay Eric Genrich, as well as backing from State Representative Amaad Rivera-Wagner and Oneida Nation Business Councilman Jameson Wilson. In late 2025, SAGE was awarded a grant by the Basic Needs Giving Partnership to expand our website capabilities and develop and implement strategy around data collection pertaining to program feedback and success. In December, SAGE hosted the first “Social Prescribing Showdown” where eight program partners competed alongside local artists to win 12 social prescription classes at their location. And, as quite a milestone, after presenting the Social Prescription Calendar and the concept of social prescribing to the Greater Green Bay Chamber’s “Leadership Green Bay”, SAGE caught the attention of one of the leading health care networks in the area. The Social Prescription Calendar is set to become a “smart phrase” within the network’s digital platform so providers can easily add a link to the Social Prescription Calendar on a patient’s appointment summary if they identify as needing greater connection.
Support Your Creative Community
SAGE oversees programming throughout the Brown County area. We facilitate Open Studio programs in Green Bay and Pulaski, host the Green Bay Zine Spectacular, and put on an annual event to raise awareness on how the arts can better your mental health and well-being. Here and there we pop up in collaboration with area organizations, and we’re always there to advocate for our local artists.
Monetary donations keep this volunteer-based organization going. First and foremost, they keep our programming going, and they also allow us to engage the community in learning experiences, showcase artists and creatives throughout the community, train artists to be empowered in community-centered work, and purchase specific supplies needed to keep our organization thriving.
SAGE also gladly accepts art supply donations. If you’re looking to get rid of those art supplies gathering dust on the shelves, send us an email, or visit us during Open Studio Nights, the first and third Tuesday of every month, from 530-730pm.
