Exhibitions Around the State
Speaking of Book Arts is a current exhibition in the Chazen Museum of Art in Madison, WI. It includes fifty years' worth of book art, quite literally telling the story behind the art through oral history. The Chazen Museum of Art, Kohler Art Library, and UW archives, along with twenty-one students and faculty collaborated to create this exhibit for the public. The auditory element of this exhibition is not only unique, it allows the art to tell a story in more ways than one. Speaking of Book Arts if open February 1st through April 19th 2020. The Chazen Museum of Art is open daily, galleries: 11am-8pm.

Permanent Collection Feature: Alice Weber
Head of Swine, Alice Weber
| Alice Weber, born by the name Aliska, was raised on a farm run entirely by women. Her Bohemian-American working family made up of herself, her seven sisters, and her mother handled a farm in Spruce Village in Oconto County. Weber learned to do farm work, cooking, cleaning, and embroidery. Eventually she began to take up a further interest in art, from pencil to chalk drawings in school. At one point, Weber even did all the blackboard drawings and figure sketches for her teacher. This interest grew into an investment when she and a friend bought paint brushes, paint, and a palette with their own money. When she grew older, she married Andrew Weber, started a family, and lived off the land of her garden. In 1922 the Webers moved to Green Bay. It was here she began taking art lessons, and discovered her passion and talent in art. Her experience changed when she met John Steuart Curry in 1941, and was overcome with a new sense of motivation. Here Weber was able to understand her own take on the world, as the natural elements of the farm in her pieces told a unique story. We are grateful to have Alice Weber’s oil painting, Head of Swine, in our permanent collection here at WRAP. Over her lifetime, she had some incredible accomplishments. Weber even received the John Steuart Curry Memorial Medal for Rural Art. A photo of her exact Curry Medal is shown to the right.(photo from Barb Robinson). |  Alice Weber's John Steuart Curry Medal |
