AWA 2025 State Conference and Exhibition Heads to Wausau-Save the Dates!

This year, the AWA 2025 State Conference and Exhibition will take place in Wausau, showcasing our Regional State Awards. The event will be hosted in the galleries of the Center for the Visual Arts, a venue that provides the perfect setting for our artwork with its professional gallery ambiance and exceptional lighting.

The annual exhibition will run from mid-August through the end of September, giving visitors ample time to appreciate the diverse and inspiring works on display. The highlight of the event, the AWA Conference, is set for September 27, promising a day filled with creative exchange, learning, and celebration of the arts.

A change this year, WRAP-Teen, our program dedicated to showcasing young artistic talent, will take the stage earlier. The WRAP-Teen exhibit will be on display from July to early August, giving young artists their own time to shine in this exceptional space.

Save the dates! We hope to see you in the galleries this summer and fall for an unforgettable celebration of creativity.

Keep tuned for further information as we roll out the plans for our next annual event.

AWA Receives Grant from Wisconsin Art Board

In December, AWA was awarded a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board (WAB) for our Operational Fund. This grant will support the ongoing work we do to fulfill our mission: To inspire, educate, and support our art community. We are incredibly grateful to our Grant Writer, Christina Chalk, for her outstanding work in securing this vital funding. We also extend our deepest thanks to the WAB for their continued support. Their contribution enables us to offer the valuable programs that serve and enrich our community of artists.
