Wisconsin Made: Work from RAM’s Wustum Teachers

March 13 – July 4, 2026
at Windows on Fifth Gallery at Racine Art Museum

RAM’s studio arts program has been in operation at RAM’s Wustum Museum since the 1940s. Originally operating out of the gallery spaces, a classroom addition was constructed in 1966 to accommodate the growing interest in classes and to expand course offerings. Today, Wustum is home to one of the largest museum-based studio art programs in the state of Wisconsin, offering courses in a wide range of media for artists of all ages and skill levels.

Celebrating RAM’s talented teachers, Wisconsin Made highlights a selection of pieces created by active instructors alongside photographs of hands in action inside of the Wustum classrooms.

Artists in the Exhibition

Veronica Gagliano Averkamp, Susan Buhler-Maki, Kelly Darrah, Laura Gillespie, Tom Hoffman, Sue Horton, Jen Janzer, Jeff Kosmala, Erin Krembs, Leslie Perrino, Jeff Shawhan, Sherrye Smith, and Mallory Oleson Willing
