The Wisconsin Regional Art Program and the Wisconsin Academy are delighted to share the art of twenty-one artists who are all members of the Rural Rembrandts Art Club which serves the creative community in the Wautoma-Waushara-Neshkoro-Oshkosh area.
RRAC Mission: "To promote the practice of and interest in the creative arts and to afford a means of education, encouragement, and opportunity for cooperation in art creation among persons interested in such endeavors."
In 1946, a group of amateur Wisconsin artists formed the Rural Rembrandt Art Club to share art experiences with each other and with their community. For more than seventy years the Wisconsin art club has been providing an opportunity to enjoy art in all its various forms to the local community and has encouraged many aspiring artists by providing a forum for them to display and discuss their work and learn from other artists. They continue today with a very active art community and maintain an online gallery of their memberships art here: http://www.ruralrembrandts.com/

Rural Rembrandts' History with WRAP and WRAA
Early RRAC and Wisconsin Regional Artist Association members Dorothy and Ray Spaulding married in 1945. They were people with busy lives and an ongoing commitment to creative growth through the arts. They shared a love of art in general and painting in particular, and they shared a desire to learn more and grow as artists. Soon they found others who shared their artistic interests and together they pursued informal gatherings where their families could visit and draw.
Word spread and the circle of artists grew, and grew, until they formed a club called the Rural Rembrandts Art Club. Soon they reached out to Professor James Schwaulbach (of WPR 'Let's Draw' radio show fame), and the Wisconsin Regional Art Program, which was engaged in early outreach efforts. This was the beginning of a long relationship and fruitful between the RRAC and WRAP. A few years later the Wisconsin Regional Artist Association (WRAA) was formed to be a non-profit partner with WRAP and Ray Spaulding became its first President. The partnership has continued for since that time.
