Christo's Novelty Combo: A Fine Arts Performance

  • Sunday, October 15 at 1:30 PM
  • Join us at the library for a truly unique musical performance! Christo's Novelty Combo presents a mixture of the Vaudeville era, novelty and jazz-infused hot steel guitar and ukulele of the 1920s and 30s "Hawaiian Craze," and the swinging sounds of French, Django Reinhardt-style small group swing jazz from the 1930s and 40s. Think Hot Hawaiian guitar meets Jazz à la Django!

Cultural Conversations

  • Ableism. An Insider's Look at disABILITY
  • Sunday, October 22 at 1:30 PM
  • A self proclaimed bionic unicorn, Damian Buchman is the founder of The Ability Center and the Wisconsin Adaptive Sports Association. He is also the vision behind the RampUp movement which turned Milwaukees’ Bradford Beach into the nation’s most accessible and is presently working to create America’s most universal park. He has a passion for helping people realize their best self, delivering his message of hope.
  • In 2017, Damian was recognized as one of Milwaukee’s 40 under 40, he’s a 2019 winner of the Donald Driver Driven to Achieve award, and a 2021 Milwaukee Business Journal “Trailblazer” in the Diversity Equity & Inclusion awards. His work with The Ability Center has won numerous community and construction awards and he also serves on a handful of DEI+A committees at a city, county, and state level. But, Damian is most proud to identify as a survivor, social entrepreneur, adaptive athlete, and father of three. Damian Buchman humbly finds himself as an inspiration to both those with and without disabilities.
