These artists are committed to their own art making and to creating opportunities for other creative artists in Wisconsin to come together, share their artworks, and grow from the experience.
Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) exhibits/workshops began in 1940 to encourage the creative growth of Wisconsin non-professional artists from rural areas. WRAP is developed and administered by the UW-Madison, Division of Continuing Studies and has since expanded to include urban areas. WRAP exhibit/workshops are held throughout the year in over twenty locations around the Wisconsin. Regional exhibits include a workshop day for participating artists and the public in which a guest artist gives a lecture or demonstration followed by an educational critique of the exhibited artwork lead by the exhibit judge. State Award works are eligible to exhibit at the Annual State Art Exhibition and Conference held in September each year. In 2014 the State Conference and Exhibition will be held at the Center for Visual Arts in Wausau. In 2015 the State Conference and Exhibition will be back in Madison. |
