See the Art Museum that is All the Buzz This Summer

Sept. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- At the beginning of this season, insects - as depicted by contemporary artists - invaded the Racine Art Museum http://ramart.org/ram/home.html. See these All the Buzz exhibitions http://ramart.org/ram/All-the-Buzz-Insects-Invade-RAM.html before they close this month.

For many individuals, insects create a sense of uneasiness. This summer RAM has showcased the works of artists who challenge the viewer to wonder why these creatures are so maligned. Engaging audiences with a variety of bug-related activities and family-friendly events, RAM has experienced a 56 percent increase in attendance to date.

For many visitors, these family-friendly exhibitions and activities drew them into the museum for the first time. While children gravitate to the video presentations in Catherine Chalmers: American Chalmers http://ramart.org/ram/Catherine-Chalmers.html, adult visitors are transfixed by the intricacy of Jennifer Angus' http://ramart.org/ram/Jennifer-Angus.html installation and the beautifully realized visual puns of JoAnna Poehlmann http://ramart.org/ram/JoAnna-Poehlmann.html.

The Racine Art Museum is open Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 am - 5:00 pm, Sundays Noon - 5:00 pm and closed Mondays, Federal holidays and Easter. An admission fee of $5 for adults, with reduced fees for students and seniors, applies at RAM. Members are always admitted without charge.
