Dear WRAP artists and friends,
In our every changing world with the coronavirus, school and group closings we sincerely appreciate your flexibility as the situation develops and changes daily. I'm working with coordinators to reschedule upcoming WRAP's for April and possible May...(to be determined).We will be in touch with more information when we have more information. Our biggest concern is for your health and safety! The best thing for everyone currently to do is to stay home, not panic and CREATE ART. Please use our Wisconsin Regional Art Facebook page as a platform to share your current creations during these interesting times. Let's inspire each other. Again, thank you for your flexibility as your health and safety again is our main concern.
If you have specific questions please email angela.johnson@wisc.edu

Getting Started

A fantastic kick off to this guide is Art at Home which includes over 60 options for art contests, museums, art games, art education, digital art, and art at home. Distantly Together is another great resource that includes opportunities to connect with other artists, call for art, online exhibition spaces, and much more.
