Now in its 59th year, Watercolor Wisconsin was started in 1966 to honor the depth and breadth of watercolor in the state.

This exhibition presents a selection of Native American and First Nations baskets from across North America, including a piece by Wisconsin-based artist Liandra Skenandore.

From The Archives showcases eight Wisconsin-based artists with recently established archives at RAM—Jerrold Belland, Lisa Englander, Caren Heft, Alex Mandli, Michael Nitsch, Bill Reid, Susan M. Sorenson, and Marc Wollman—each of whom have long-standing and impactful connections to RAM and Wustum

From oversized body parts and clay vessels to an abnormally large bronze pear, these works from RAM’s collection encourage viewers to consider how size affects their expectations and opinions.

Some contemporary glass artists have utilized perfume bottles as spaces for experimentation and exploration—not necessarily function. This desire to challenge functionality has run parallel with the desire to produce usable and practical objects.

This exhibition, an expanded version of a 2022 Windows on Fifth Gallery show, offers a deeper dive into this vital period in contemporary craft by outlining the concerns of artists who explore the sculptural, visual, metaphorical, and creative potential of glass.

Shown intermingled in this exhibition, the works of Canadian artists and married couple Karen Dahl and James Doran encourage extended viewing and consideration of art history, object meaning, and process.

To add glow and glimmer to Main Street, RAM presents a re-imagined annual crowd-pleasing favorite, RAM Festive Forest.
