This juried exhibition showcases work from the studios of artists in Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties. All artists 18 or older living in these counties—as well as RAM Members living in or outside of the area—are invited to submit up to two works to the competition.

Drawn from RAM’s collection, the two and three-dimensional works in this exhibition are united by conceptual choices in presentation yet they reflect a variety of perspectives and subject matter—from cultural, historical, and domestic issues to material and formal investigations.

This exhibition features objects and images from the museum’s collection that are both fantastical and familiar. The contemporary artists whose works are featured—many of whom use the natural world as inspiration—do not shy away from the over-sized, dramatic, or intriguing.

RAM and RAM's Wustum Museum invite you to submit work to our second Virtual Community Art Show. This year's theme is Alien Invasion—think innovative and imaginative work that explores the concept of intrusion. Feel free to invent imaginary plants, animals, and creatures using a wide variety of materials, or take it more literally, and include whatever fits your understanding of the word alien.
