Racine and Vicinity Show 2024: All Media Juried Exhibition
June 12 – August 10, 2024
Entry Deadline: Saturday, May 11 at 4:00 pm
A tradition at RAM’s Wustum Museum that offers a glimpse into local talent, as well as an excellent opportunity for artists to exhibit their work in an accredited museum.
The juror for this year’s exhibition is Debra Brehmer, who is the owner and director of Portrait Society Gallery of Contemporary Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She also writes for the national art publication, Hyperallergic. Prior to running a gallery, Brehmer taught art history at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design and was the founder and publisher of Art Muscle Magazine. In 2023, she was awarded a Mayoral Proclamation for service to the art community, and in 2022 received a Wisconsin Achievement Award for Critical Writing from the Humanities Council, Wisconsin Visual Artists, and Museum of Wisconsin Art. A recent major exhibition organized by Portrait Society, Art Against the Odds: Wisconsin Prison Art, is currently touring for two years.
