James Watrous Gallery staff are always open to collaborations with other nonprofit organizations in the arts, sciences, and humanities.
The biennial Wisconsin Visual Art Achievement Awards are a joint program of the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Wisconsin Visual Artists, and the Wisconsin Academy. The 2024 awards ceremony will be held at the Museum of Wisconsin Art on April 14, 2024, at 1:00pm. These awards honor individuals and organizations that have contributed to the wealth of artistic creativity in our state and region. While the awards originally focused on an individual artist’s contributions over an entire career, the award categories have been broadened to recognize achievement at various stages of an artist’s career and in related professional areas that are often overlooked, such as youth education, community arts advocacy, exhibition development, and arts writing.
