WRAP (Wisconsin Regional Art Program) is a program of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Continuing Studies division. It was begun in 1940 by the College of Agriculture Extension as a means of encouraging rural artists and providing them with exhibit opportunities.
The purpose of WRAP is to encourage non-professional artists and to offer them an opportunity to exhibit and develop their abilities through regional exhibitions and workshops.
Today WRAP sponsors 20 non-juried regional exhibits across the state for non-professional artists. The exhibits are held in public spaces for two to four weeks and each participant can submit two pieces of work. Exhibits are accompanied by a workshop day that features a guest speaker or demonstration as well as a judge’s critique of participants’ art. You may enter as many Wisconsin Regional Art Workshops as you like. Anyone 16 years or older can exhibit in any of the regional WRAP shows
Honorable Mention and State Awards are given. The State Award pieces are eligible for exhibit at WRAP’s annual State Art Exhibition and Conference held in September each year. If your work is selected for the State Exhibit at two different workshops, you must choose which one you want to send to the State Art Exhibit.
