In/Between is a new 10-day festival of visual and performing arts presented by RAM. Spanning Racine County’s built and natural landscapes along Lake Michigan, our mostly free public festival transforms everyday places into sites of creativity through exhibitions, performances, talks, workshops, wellness activities, and social events.

What will you find at the festival?
In/Between reflects both place and practice: our location within the Milwaukee-Chicago corridor, the artists working across disciplines and media, and the spaces “in and between” our city’s familiar and hidden corners.
The festival unfolds through six interconnected series:
In/Between is presented in partnership with Handwork: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a national initiative highlighting the enduring relevance of the handmade. Through immersive and participatory experiences, the festival expands craft beyond the object while reinforcing RAM’s leadership as home to North America’s largest contemporary craft collection.
Rooted in identity and shaped by the narratives of Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region, In/Between establishes a dynamic new platform for Midwestern audiences. It explores craft at the intersection of art, design, and storytelling while strengthening connections between people, place, and possibility.
Kick off In/Between at the artist welcome dinner, an evening of connection and celebration at Hotel Verdant. Join participating artists, supporters, and RAM leadership for a shared meal and the chance to engage with the creative voices shaping the festival.
Designed to spark conversation and build community, the evening sets the tone for ten days of dynamic artistic experiences across Racine County.
RAM’s new multi-arts festival expands the museum’s reach across Racine County, presenting contemporary craft through visual arts, performing arts, and participatory experiences.
Eric Rieger (aka HOTTEA) uses yarn to create large-scale installations that explore color, texture, scale, and perception, inviting viewers to experience familiar spaces in new ways.
