We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully.

The virtual event All Day Blackness features a diverse cast of Black programmers and hosts from Columbus-based online radio station Verge.fm.
Curated by artist and Verge.fm DJ Reg Zehner in collaboration with the Wexner Center’s Dionne Custer Edwards, the event invites a series of hosts to each contribute an hour of performance, conversation, and music in sets that celebrate joy, pleasure, and Black people and culture. See the full schedule below.
All Day Blackness will include prerecorded and live content, and all programming will broadcast NOON–6 PM EST on Saturday, February 27, and Sunday, February 28, at Verge.fm. Look for posts and updates in the week leading up to All Day Blackness from Verge.fm and wexarts.org.
