Lost Harvest, by Lynn Block, winner of the Chinese Fine Art Association Award at the State WRAP Exhibit
Wausau WRAP Exhibit follows a successful State Conference
We are just back from spending a beautiful weekend in Wausau at the state WRAP conference at the conclusion of a truly wonderful state WRAP exhibition at the Wausau Center for Visual Art. 2014 was the 60th anniversary of WRAP's non-profit partner, the Wisconsin Regional Artist Association and we celebrated by bringing the festivities to Wausau to acknowledge the organization's commitment to the entire State's lay artist community. The 180+ people that participated in the surrounding events enjoyed learning more about Wausau’s strong visual art community and saw for themselves the fabulous Center for Visual Art. Here is a chance to share your artwork there again, or for the first time.
The Wausau WRAP and its organizers were acknowledged at the conference for several things, including being the fastest growing WRAP in the state. All non-professional artists are (defined as not making their livings primarily from their art) to participate in this years Wausau WRAP Exhibition and workshop at the Center for Visual Art sponsored by the Wisconsin Valley Artist Association. (Note changes from earlier postings). Artists and art-advocates alike are invited to view the exhibitions free of charge.
