WAV believes in the power of every voice. We are proud to announce the Bridges of Love program that will uplift a group of important, underheard voices in our community.
WAV is facilitating workshops that pair local musicians and producers with incarcerated mothers and their children. Together, the families will write and produce a collection of songs about their shared experiences. The finished music will premiere at live performances in early 2021 hosted by Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA) and will be made available for the entire community to stream online.
Over the course of ten, one hour sessions, our groups connect with each other, listen to each other, learn from each other, and provide healing for each other.
Under the guidance of a team of professional musicians, producers, videographers and visual artists, the group takes the content of their conversations and create a professionally recorded songs, music videos, and visual artwork to accompany their song.

Who
WAV’s mission is to EMPOWER and AMPLIFY under represented voices through songwriting,
and to create safe spaces for people to
SHARE, LEARN and HEAL together.
Guided by a team of creative professionals
WAV leads trauma-informed conversations
with small groups of 8-10 participants.
The themes and words from these conversations
are then used by the WAV production team
to create songs, videos, and artwork.
Then we share on streaming platforms
to carry their conversations to the broader community.
