What is WRAA and WRAP?

WRAA is the Wisconsin Regional Artists Association, a non-profit organization of over 500 non-professional artists from the state of Wisconsin and beyond.  WRAA works closely with the Wisconsin Regional Art Program (WRAP) through the UW-Madison, Department of Liberal Studies and the Arts to provide educational resources, opportunities to exhibit and encouragement to the artistic development of its members. 

 WRAP is the Wisconsin Regional Art Program, developed and administered by the UW-Madison's Department of Liberal Studies and the Arts. WRAP exhibits/workshops began in 1940 to encourage the creative growth of Wisconsin non-professional artists from rural areas. WRAP exhibit/workshops are held throughout the year and all around the state.  Regional exhibits include a workshop day for participating artists and the public in which a guest artist gives a lecture or demonstration, then the judge leads an educational critique of the exhibited artwork.  Participants may exhibit up to three pieces of art in any WRAP exhibit/workshop.  State Award works are eligible to exhibit at the Annual State Art Exhibition and Conference held in September each year in Madison.
