Insight into a WRAP Workshop

A lot of times, the question “What happens at WRAP workshops?” is posed. This past weekend, the Madison workshop occurred which provides a great opportunity to detail the inner workings of a workshop day. Here is a typical workshop schedule:

8:45 am – 9:45 am: Registration and viewing the exhibit

9:45 am – 11:00 am: Presentation by workshop speaker/judge

11:00 am – 12:00 pm: Morning critique session

12:00 pm – 1:15 pm: Lunch time

1:15 pm – 3:30 pm: Afternoon critiques

3:30 pm: End of the workshop

Exciting Website Update!

On our website, https://continuingstudies.wisc.edu/conferences/wisconsin-regional-art-program/, we have started to include the regional Honorable Mention and State Award winners on a tab on the far left side of the site. This will act as an archive for upcoming WRAP workshops. We plan on starting with this year, and carrying on for many to come.
