Watercolor Wisconsin 2013

December 15, 2013 – April 26, 2014

One of the museum’s most popular shows, Watercolor Wisconsin is a statewide competition organized by the museum annually since 1966. This longrunning, juried exhibition attracts a wide range of artists. Limited only by their materials—aqueous media such as acrylic and watercolor—artists are free to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional works on paper.

Of 303 pieces submitted by 165 artists, approximately one-third of these pieces were chosen for this year’s show—featuring 125 pieces by 95 artists. Two new works from this year’s competition were be purchased for the Racine Art Museum’s permanent collection, adding to RAM’s holdings of extraordinary Wisconsin artists.
