Breyton Hill discusses the history of Earth Day on April 22 and how it came to be one of the largest secular holidays in the world. The theme of Earth Day 2026 is Our Power, Our Planet, which according to EarthDay.org, reflects a fundamental truth: environmental progress doesn’t depend on any single administration or election. It’s sustained by daily actions of communities, educators, workers, and families protecting where they live and work. Breyton invites all of the listeners to get involved in their community for Earth Day and celebrate the beauty that is living on this planet.

EOT 431 Civic Engagement Through Art
In this episode of “Eye on the Triangle,” Evie Dallman and Amanda Levinson discuss the arts’ place in exciting civic engagement and ways communities can continue restoration within the individual as well as larger bodies of people. We talk radical rest, laborers’ rights and artistic action.
In our second story, Evie chats with the North Carolina Museum of Art’s Head Librarian, Andrew Wang, about North Carolina book culture, zine culture, DIY movements, the NCMA’s library as a source for research and media, grassroots efforts in publication and media representation and the End Paper Book Fair’s place in these ideas.
Finally, we close out with Evie’s interview with Kid Lab creators Shannon Newby and Susan Kelly on their initiatives to give kids access to arts education and principles of making with recycled goods.
In this episode, I interview Jenn McEwen, the director of Wake on Stage. We discuss how the program brings together talented students and community groups from across Wake County to showcase their creativity and passion for the arts. Jenn shares the story behind how Wake on Stage began, what inspired her to create a platform for young performers, and how the event has grown into a celebration of artistic talent in the community.
Throughout the conversation, we talk about the wide range of performances featured at Wake on Stage, from music and dance to theater and other artistic expressions. Jenn also explains the importance of giving students opportunities to perform, collaborate, and gain confidence while sharing their talents with a larger audience.
If you’d like to watch the live stream and see these incredible performances for yourself, be sure to follow the link below to tune in and support the amazing artists of Wake County. – https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1430775461690738&vanity=UnitedArtsWake
