To add glow and glimmer to Main Street, RAM presents the annual crowd-pleasing RAM Holiday Tree.

Comprised entirely of works from RAM’s collection, this exhibition highlights art jewelry made from repurposed materials originally intended for a use other than adornment.

With over 35 pieces included, the exhibition highlights Polish fiber art in both a microscopic and macroscopic way—highlighting the efforts of artists from a certain area of the world who, in turn, also reflect global interests.

Milwaukee artist Nicole Acosta uses photography to tell stories of people of the global majority and gender-expansive folks who value hoop earrings, touching on themes of reclamation, power, belonging, and place.

The largest exhibition to date dedicated to artists of color in RAM's collection, featuring works in clay, glass, and metal. The range of implicit and explicit biases experienced by the artists and the (un)conscious influence of their heritage add a unique layer of context to the included work.

On the surface, Gathering Voices is a cursory, media-specific look at 20 years of building RAM’s collection. Yet, with an emphasis on works acquired in the last five to seven years, it also highlights critical and more expansive directions to be taken.

This exhibition surveys art in Wisconsin from 1960 to 1990. Not only was this an exceptionally fertile time in the history of a state with a (surprising to some) rich and layered history of creative production, it is the period Don Reitz—an artist with a concurrent exhibition at RAM—taught in the ceramics department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
