RAM and Wustum encourages all visitors and staff who have not been fully vaccinated, and those who feel more comfortable wearing a mask, to continue doing so in public areas at both museums. Face masks may still be required for some in-person art classes at RAM’s Wustum Museum—determined on a case-by-case basis.

Join RAM for a hands-on art making during Downtown Racine’s annual Party on the Pavement festival. Create paper spinners inspired by Carlos Estevez’s ceramic plate that is currently displayed in Gathering Voices at RAM: 20 Years of Building America’s Largest Contemporary Craft Collection. Then, collaborate on a large-scale community art piece, adding their finished paper spinners to a wall full of colorful, movable art! Make sure to give the crafted circles a spin to create motion and movement throughout the piece.
