Due to the dynamic nature of COVID-19, the dates and content of current and future exhibitions at RAM and RAM’s Wustum Museum may be required to change. Any updates to these exhibitions will be announced through regular channels, including website, email, and social media. If needed, participating artists will be contacted directly.
Current Exhibitions
Presenting work from artists who create meaningful statements in craft media, RAM dispels any differentiation between fine art and craft and between the artist and the craftsperson. Exhibitions at RAM emphasize ideas behind the artwork, rather than following strict media categories.
All shows at RAM change two to three times each year. Exhibitions are currently being drawn almost exclusively from RAM’s extensive and dynamic collection.
Component Parts: Artworks Made of Multiple Elements
Drawn from RAM’s collection, the two and three-dimensional works in this exhibition are united by conceptual choices in presentation yet they reflect a variety of perspectives and subject matter—from cultural, historical, and domestic issues to material and formal investigations.
Alien Invasion: (Un)Familiar Forms in Contemporary Art
This exhibition features objects and images from the museum’s collection that are both fantastical and familiar. The contemporary artists whose works are featured—many of whom use the natural world as inspiration—do not shy away from the oversized, dramatic, or intriguing.
Alien Invasion: RAM Virtual Community Art Show
Racine Art Museum and RAM’s Wustum Museum invited artists to take part in the second RAM Virtual Community Art Show. In response, 59 artists from across the world submitted 58 works that touch upon the idea of organic invasion and intrusion.
Get a Bead On: Jewelry and Small Objects
This exhibition, comprised of works from RAM’s collection, reveals the expansive potential of beads for structure as well as decoration in contemporary art jewelry and small-scale objects.
Playful/Pensive: Contemporary Artists and Contemporary Issues
The artworks included in this exhibition are either playful or thought-provoking, and sometimes both—seeming lighthearted at first but ultimately speaking to deeper, more complex issues. Constructed of materials, such as ceramic and glass, that can withstand the demanding conditions of RAM’s Windows on Fifth gallery, these works reflect personal, social, and cultural issues and ideas in sometimes unexpected ways.
Collection Focus: Mara Superior
This exhibition debuts a recent acquisition of 31 pieces by the contemporary American ceramic artist Mara Superior.
RAM Artist Fellowship and Emerging Artist Exhibition 2021
Sponsored by a grant from the Osborne and Scekic Family Foundation, the RAM Artist Fellowship Program aims to showcase the diversity and vitality of the Racine/Kenosha visual arts. The fifth biennial exhibition features the work of Martha Coaty, Nate Hunter, Christopher Johns, Marc Travanti, and René Amado.
