Now in its 57th year, the exhibition was started in 1966 to honor the depth and breadth of watercolor in the State of Wisconsin.

In an effort to broaden the voices heard in the galleries and acknowledge the critical role staff, board, and volunteers play in getting an organization to a milestone anniversary, the curatorial process shifted into the hands of those who are not typically selecting works for display.

As part of RAM’s Twentieth Anniversary celebrations in 2023 and acknowledging a specialty focus of the institution, this exhibition surveys artists’ books from the collection.
