WRAP/WRAA State Exhibit and Conference -2018

Each September, State Award winning artworks from WRAP Exhibitions around the state are exhibited at the WRAP State Art Exhibition. At the conclusion of the exhibition is the annual WRAA State Conference, "State Day." 

State Day is held at the Pyle Center on the UW campus in Madison, or every third year, at the Center for the Visual Arts (CVA) in Wausau in northern Wisconsin. The State Day weekend kicks off on Friday evening with and an Evening With the Arts reception. Saturday morning features a presentation, usually by the show judge, followed by a luncheon and presentation of awards. Each year upwards of $5000 in awards are sponsored by local arts organizations and individual arts supporters throughout the state. For more information on WRAA State Exhibit and Conference, visit the UW-Madison website or the WRAA website.

The 2018 State Day was in Madison at the Pyle Center. The show judge and speaker was Leslee Nelson, fiber artist and Emeritus Professor in the Continuing Ed department at UW-Madison where she was director of the WRAP program for over 25 years.

I entered a collage, "Hold on There" which won a State Award at the Platteville WRAP show in November of 2017 and at State Day received the LHS Art Club Innovative Art Technique Award sponsored by the Lancaster High School Art Club in Lancaster, WI. 

Thank you to the Lancaster High School Art Club for sponsoring this award.
