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.

Low: René Amado

This exhibition in RAM's street-facing Windows on Fifth gallery explores the creativity and community of lowrider culture through the photography and video of Racine-based René Amado, alongside custom bicycles and small vehicles by various builders.

Awakening the Senses: Art that Invites Interaction

Activating the senses beyond sight alone, these 26 works by artists in RAM’s community encourage close connections through various combinations of touch, sound, and smell.
