Diverse Voices
RAM is committed to supporting diverse voices—whether that diversity reflects race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, age, ability, social standing, or world perspective. To better understand the community RAM serves, artists entering Watercolor Wisconsin are invited to designate how they identify their ethnicity/heritage and preferred pronouns.
This self-identification is 100% voluntary and will not impact the juror’s decision-making process as the selection is anonymous. This data is used solely for grant writing and reporting, and the museum’s biographical records for artists whose work is purchased for the permanent collection.
