Annual – SW Wisconsin WRAP
Art exhibit and workshop opportunities for non-professional artists.
The Richland Area Arts Council (RAAC) will once again host the combined adult and teen Wisconsin Regional Arts Programs (WRAP) for our area on Saturday, April 19, 2025. The day long event will be held at the Wyoming Valley School Cultural Arts Center 6306, State Road 23, Spring Green, WI.
WRAP encourages nonprofessional, student, and emerging artists to create and exhibit their work across Wisconsin. WRAP is for people who have a serious interest in art, and create art for the love of art.
Make art! WRAP encourages artists at all levels to practice their craft. WRAP educational workshop presentations and critique sessions will inspire you to develop your abilities and grow as an artist.
A morning workshop on bookmaking using Japanese bookbinding methods will be led by Kathy Murphy, retired graphic artist, of Fitchburg, who has over 30 years of bookmaking experience. Public is welcome to attend this workshop for a fee of $5. Please email Ricki or Sally if you would like to attend.
Judging and critiquing the exhibition is Lisa Humke, retired art teacher, of Dodgeville, whose artwork is a compilation of found materials.
Show your work! Register for the RAAC WRAP at https://wiscartists.wildapricot.org. Follow links to the WRAP and WRAP TEEN pages. Cost for the workshop and exhibition is $30. Registration is open until March 29. State Award winners from these local exhibits will be invited to have their work shown at the annual State Exhibit.
Coordinating the Adult WRAP are Sally Probasco, sallyprobasco@gmail.com, and Ricki Bishop rickibishop@yahoo.com. Aron Meudt-Thering, aron@dynameudt.com, is coordinating the Teen WRAP. Questions can be addressed to the emails listed.
This program is made possible in part by a generous grant from River Valley Arts in Spring Green.
