The Wisconsin Regional Artist Association currently has a special exhibit of 370 Tiny Treasures on display at the Marathon Public Library at 300 North First Street, Wausau. Most of them are for sale so you could own your own!  These "tiny treasures" are artworks no larger than 2.5" x 3.5", and are matted.  Look fo ryour favorite and see if they are still available.

Proceeds from the sale of Tiny Treasures goes to benefit the Lindroth Publication Fund which helps support the cost of WRAA’s annual color catalog for the Wisconsin Regional Art Program’s (WRAP) annual State Art Exhibit each September (now on display at the Center for Visual Art in Wausau).

Tiny Treasure Awards recipients will be recognized as a part of the Wisconsin Regional Art state conference activities the weekend of September 26-27.  WRAA members should know that Tiny Treasures can also be purchased at the Evening with the Arts reception at the Center for Visual Arts in Wausau on September 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. and on State Day, September 27, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Jefferson Inn. This year artists of unsold Tiny Treasures will have the option of donating their work to the Women's Community Shelter of Wausau.

If you go to see the tiny Treasures in person, don't forget to stop by the Center For Visual Art in Wausau.  This year the CVA hosts the 2014 State WRAP Exhibition to acknowledge and celebrate the statewide reach of the Wisconsin Regional Artist Association on its 60th Anniversary.  There are 164 artworks by Wisconsin artists who have won State Awards at the over 20 local WRAP Exhibits throughout Wisconsin.

This exhibition is a collaborative effort of the non-profit organization, Wisconsin Regional Artist Association (WRAA) and the Wisconsin Regional Arts Program (WRAP), an adult arts program administered by the UW-Madison Division of Continuing Studies, the exhibition is an opportunity to recognize award recipients from the local WRAP art exhibitions/workshops across the state organized in collaboration with local arts organizations and arts venues for Wisconsin artists who love the creative process and aspire to reach their greatest creative potential but do not identify as professional artists.


Check out both exhibitions on display through September 26th.
