About WRAP-Kids:
HISTORY: The year 2004 marked the 50th year for the founding of the Association of Wisconsin Artists (AWA). To celebrate, AWA, a non-profit, held the first WRAP-Kids exhibit in Prairie du Sac at the River Arts Center for children ages 5 through 12 years. It was a tremendous success. The board of directors decided to continue the program. Children’s art programs local coordinators have hosted children’s programs in Middleton, Milton, Madison, Mineral Point, Verona, Platteville, Janesville, Oconomowoc, Brookfield, Whitewater, Mineral Point, Clinton, and Argyle. In 2021, the board of directors started showing one or two pieces from each location for the first time at AWA’s State Exhibit. You could make this happen in your Wisconsin hometown!
