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.
